About the Double-collared seedeater
The Double-collared seedeater is a bird in the family Thraupidae (order Passeriformes). Its conservation status on the IUCN Red List is “least concern”.
What does the Double-collared seedeater sound like?
Bird vocalisations are usually divided into songs – longer, often complex phrases used to defend territory and attract mates, sung mostly by males in the breeding season – and calls: short, simple sounds for contact, alarm, begging or flight.
The recordings here are labelled as sporophila caerulescens. Listen for differences in rhythm, pitch and repetition – the spectrum display makes it easy to see whether a sound is a pure whistle (a thin line), a harsh call (a broad band) or a trill (rapid repeated marks).
