The Parrot-billed Seedeater is a small, distinctive seedeater endemic to the dry coastal regions of Peru and Ecuador, named for its disproportionately large, parrot-like bill.
Where to spot
Endemic to the arid coastal regions and dry scrub of southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru, typically below 500 meters.
How to spot
Look for its notably large, conical bill, which is its most striking feature. It often forages on the ground or in low, thorny bushes. Listen for its quiet vocalizations.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the mornings when it is most active and vocal.

Its unusually large bill is specially adapted for cracking open tough seeds found in its arid coastal habitat, enabling it to exploit specific food resources.
