- Same species - (1)

Maybe only a coincidence, but every time I got to this hotel I saw a Palm Tanager (Tangara Palmarum) / Sanhaço do coqueiro, eating papaya.

It is from the same species of the banana eater :))

 

This bird is also known as Sanhaço Verde or Pipira Verde. It is aggressive towards individuals of the same or other species.

It measures between 17 and 18 centimeters in length and weighs 27-48 g.

 

The dominant greenish color is sufficient to determine it, when the light conditions allow it. Also noteworthy is its link with palm trees.

 

It hunts insects in the middle of the leaves, sometimes staying upside down in this search, but also catches insects in flight, especially termites and winged ants. In addition to insects, it complements the diet with nectar and fruits, especially from Embaúba.

Get used to orchards and well-wooded urban environments. It can be seen in gardens, where it goes in the bird feeders to feed on fruits, also in parks in the country's major urban centers.
