About These Birds
Black-eared Seedeater
The Black-eared Seedeater is a small, streaky finch with a distinctive black ear patch contrasting against its pale buff-white face and underparts. It is found in miombo woodland and adjacent open scrublands of central and southern Africa, ranging from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Zimbabwe. It feeds predominantly on grass seeds, often foraging in small flocks on or near the ground.
Picogordo
El picogordo es un pinzón de gran tamaño con un pico enorme y poderoso adaptado para partir semillas duras. Tiene plumaje marrón-anaranjado con alas negras y blancas. Mide unos 16-18 cm. Habita en bosques caducifolios y mixtos de Europa, Asia central y este asiático. Se alimenta principalmente de semillas de cerezo, acebo y olivo, que puede partir con su robusto pico. Especie tímida y difícil de observar a pesar de su gran tamaño entre los pinzones.
