The Blue Dacnis or Turquoise Honeycreepers are small
Tanagers.
They occur naturally in Central America - Nicaragua to
Panama, and Trinidad – as well as in South America south to
Bolivia and northern Argentina. They inhabit forests and other
woodlands.
They construct bulky nests that are typically placed in trees.

American Goldfinches live in open woodlands and nest in
shrubs. They eat some types of seeds.
American Goldfinches breed later than most North American
birds. They wait to nest until June or July when milkweed,
thistle, and other plants have produced their fibrous seeds,
which they incorporate into their nests and feed their young.

Baltimore Orioles live in open woodlands and eat
fruit, but they sometimes eat insects. They nest in
trees and are recognized by their bright orange
and black plumage.
Unlike robins and many other fruit eating birds,
Baltimore Orioles seem to prefer only ripe, darkcolored fruit. Orioles seek out the darkest
mulberries, the reddest cherries, and the deepestpurple grapes, and will ignore green grapes and
yellow cherries even if they are ripe

Blue Jays live in forests and nest in trees. They are
omnivores and love acorns.
The pigment in Blue Jay feathers is melanin (meluh-nin) , which is brown. The blue color is caused
by scattering light through modified cells on the
surface of the feather barbs.
The oldest known wild, banded Blue Jay lived to be
at least 17 years and 6 months old.


Eastern Bluebirds live in grasslands and nest in tree
cavitys(usually).
Eastern Bluebirds eat mostly insects, wild fruit, and
berries. Occasionally, they have also been observed
capturing and eating larger prey items such as
shrews, salamanders, snakes, lizards, and tree
frogs.

Indigo Buntings live in open woodlands and nest in
shrubs. The eat insects and seeds.
Indigo Buntings are famous for their songs.
Indigo Buntings learn their songs as youngsters,
from nearby males but not from their fathers.
Buntings a few hundred yards apart generally sing
different songs, while those in the same “song
neighborhood” share nearly identical songs. A local
song may persist up to 20 years, gradually
changing as new singers add novel variations.

Mourning Doves live in open woodlands, nest
in trees, and eat seeds.
Perhaps one reason Mourning Doves survive
in the desert: they can drink brackish spring
water without becoming dehydrated the way
humans would.
Mourning Doves mate for life and will stay
together forever.

Parrots and Parakeets are the same thing except Parakeets
are smaller than Parrots.
Parrots are found on all tropical and subtropical continents
including Australia, Oceania, South Asia, Southeast Asia,
Central America, South America, and Africa. Their diet
consists of seeds, nuts, fruit, buds, and other plant material.
Some species eat animals and carrion. Almost all Parrots nest
in tree hollows.
