Spotted
The Thick-billed Seedeater is a robust finch with a distinctive, very large and conical bill. Its plumage is streaky brown with a yellowish tinge, particularly on the rump.
Where to spot
Found in southern Africa, particularly in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. It inhabits dry woodlands, savannas, and rocky areas.
How to spot
Look for them in open woodlands or rocky areas, often foraging on the ground or in low bushes. The massive bill is its most striking feature. Listen for its strong, sharp calls.
When to spot
Visible year-round in its resident range. Most active during the breeding season (southern hemisphere spring/summer).

Its exceptionally powerful bill allows it to crack open the hardest of seeds, a dietary adaptation for its often dry habitat.
