Introduction
Blue Seedeaters forage in forest understory, 3-12 m above the ground (Stiles and Skutch 1989). These finches can be active, hopping and flitting actively (Stiles and Skutch 1989).
Blue Seedeaters sing from within cover, including while foraging, or from prominent perches (Howell and Webb 1995).
