Canário-da-terra, Saffron Finch (Sicalis Flaveola)
Local: Coronel Xavier Chaves (MG), Brasil, no sítio do amigo Beto.
Male, adult.
Texto extraído da Wilkipedia:
O canário-da-terra (Sicalis flaveola), diferentemente do canário, é
originário da América do Sul. É encontrado na Colombia, Equador,
Venezuela, Peru, Brasil e Argentina.
Os filhotes são da cor esverdeada, independente do sexo. Quando
adultos, os machos têm cor predominante amarela, principalmente na
cabeça, e as fêmeas tomam um tom pardo ou amarelo misto com estrias
escuras. Os machos podem brigar entre si por fêmeas – que normalmente
atiçam as brigas – até à fuga de um dos canários. Tanto os machos
quanto as fêmeas cantam, sendo que as últimas alcançam menor diapasão.
A alimentação é tipicamente constituída de sementes (como alpiste) e
vegetais folhosos. Alcançam um tamanho de 13,5 centímetros.
O canário-da-terra faz ninho, na natureza, em cavidades, chegando a utilizar frequentemente, ninhos abandonados de joão-de-barro. São muito agressivos na defesa do ninho, chegando a atacar aves maiores que dele aproximem-se.
The Saffron Finch (Sicalis flaveola) is a tanager from South America and is common in both open and semi-open areas in lowlands outside the Amazon Basin. They have a wide distribution in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and Argentina. Formerly, it was placed in the Emberizidae but it is close to the seedeaters.
The male is bright yellow with an orange crown which distinguishes it from other yellow finches in the continent. The females are more confusing as they can sometimes be just a duller version of the male but some sub-species such as, S. f. pelzelni, is olive-brown with heavy dark streaks.
They nest in cavities and make use of sites such as abandoned Rufous Hornero (Furnarius rufus) nests and house roofs. They have a pleasant but repetitious song which, combined with their appearance, has led to them being kept as caged birds in many areas.
