The Flame-faced Tanager is here.
The Thraupidae family of birds includes the flame-faced tanager (Tangara parzudakii). Sporting cheeks that are a vibrant yellow on the rest of the head, with a vivid orange forehead. His neck and ear patch are both black. The rump is yellow and green-buff, while the upperparts are black with a greenish-yellow shoulder patch.
Additionally green, the breast and belly gradually become rufous as they descend.
Although their heads tend to not be nearly as brilliant, this species’ females have the same general appearance as the males.
Parts of the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Peru are home to this bird.
These birds can be spotted in clearings, on the borders of wooded regions, or at elevations between 1,200 and 2,500 metres.
This species consumes a broad variety of fruits and insects, much like many other management. They often search for insects while foraging along horizontal, moss-covered limbs.
Flame-faced tanagers nest in open settings like meadows or woodland borders, but nothing more is known about their mating practises. Additionally, parents frequently examine the nesting material that is close to their chicks. This is supposed to safeguard chicks by assisting in the removal of fleas and other parasites from the nest.
