The breeding biology of members of Sporophila seedeaters is relatively well known. In general, females are solely responsible for nest building, but it is unclear how nest sites are selected. We describe for the first time observations of male displays that ultimately suggest nesting sites to females in lined seedeaters. We compare this behaviour with anecdotal observations gathered from literature and citizen science networks that suggest that this behaviour occurs in other species in the genus.
