Food: Brown Twinspots predominantly feed on the ground and this is where they are most commonly seen. They eat seeds of grasses and various other plants. Furthermore, they catch a fair amount of insects, predominantly termites.
Despite the fact that Brown Twinspots are found in two separate ranges, they are considered to be a single species. It should be noted though that some species have long slender bills. No doubt, this is related to the way in which they collect the seeds they feed on.
