The endangered Black-throated Finch inhabits open grassy woodlands where they forage on the ground, pecking at fallen seeds, sometimes in the company of other finches. There are two subspecies of Black-throated Finches. The northern subspecies occurs in north Queensland, mainly on Cape York Peninsula. The southern subspecies is recorded at a few scattered sites, mainly near Townsville and in the Galilee Basin of Central Queensland. It is estimated that in recent decades its habitat has significantly been reduced due to the clearing, fragmentation and modification of the land.
