Binomial name
Dacnis cayana
(Linnaeus, 1766)
The Blue Dacnis or Turquoise Honeycreeper, Dacnis cayana, is a small
passerine bird. This member of the tanager family is a resident
breeder from Nicaragua to Panama, on Trinidad, and in South America
south to Bolivia and northern Argentina.
It occurs in forests and other woodlands. The bulky cup nest is built
in a tree and the normal clutch is brown-blotched white two eggs. The
female incubates the eggs, but is fed by the male.
The Blue Dacnis is 12.7 cm long and weighs 13 g. It has a relatively
short bill compared to other honeycreepers. The adult male is
turquoise blue with a black forehead, throat and back. The wings and
tail are black edged with turquoise. The female and immature are
mainly green with a blue head, paler green underparts and green-edged
brown wings.
These are social birds which eat mainly insects gleaned from foliage,
flowers or bromeliads. Fruit is often taken and usually swallowed
whole, but nectar is rarely consumed. The Blue Dacnis’s call is a
fruit thin tsip.
