About These Birds
Band-tailed Seedeater
The Band-tailed Seedeater is a small finch of the family Thraupidae found in open grassland, scrub, and agricultural areas in the Andes and adjacent lowlands. Weighing about 13.5g with a wingspan of 13.1cm, it has a distinctive pale band across the base of its tail. It feeds primarily on grass seeds on or near the ground.
Black Flowerpiercer
The Black Flowerpiercer is a small, entirely matte-black bird with a distinctively sharply hooked and upturned bill used to pierce the base of flowers and steal nectar. It inhabits high-altitude cloud forests, páramo scrub, and forest edges in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, typically above 2,000 meters. It also catches small insects, making it a nectar thief rather than a pollinator.
