Black-chested Sparrow

Peucaea humeralis

The Black-chested Sparrow, known scientifically as Peucaea humeralis, is a modestly adorned bird that calls the family Passerellidae its own. This avian species is a unique resident of Mexico, where it flits and forages within its preferred environments.

Identification Tips

When endeavoring to identify the Black-chested Sparrow, one should look for its defining characteristic: a stark black patch adorning its chest. This feature is set against a backdrop of more subdued plumage, typical of the species' overall understated elegance.

Habitat

The Black-chested Sparrow is quite particular about its habitat, favoring the subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, as well as the subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland. These environments provide the ideal conditions for the sparrow to thrive.

Distribution

Endemic to Mexico, the Black-chested Sparrow is a bird that has adapted to the specific climatic and geographical nuances of its home country. It is not found beyond these borders, making it a special target for birdwatchers visiting the region.

Conservation status

BirdLife International has assessed the Black-chested Sparrow and bestowed upon it the status of Least Concern. This indicates that, for the time being, the species does not face imminent threats that could jeopardize its survival.

My favourite app
As a young birdwatcher who was always keen to be apart of a community but never seemed to find one, my problem was solved downloading this!!! Everyone is so friendly and just as excited to see birds as me 😁

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

Very wholesome app: I joined this app with a new interest in watching birds to help me find out what I was spotting. The community is very active in helping identify birds which is great and everyone is very kind so it’s just a nice wholesome community. I would definitely recommend this for any bird spotter 😃

A great app, which is continually being improved. What really comes through is the passion of those behind the app. The sense of community is brilliant, so much help and support provided to new and/or in experienced birders.

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??
