Turdus rufiventris
"Sabiá Laranjeira" ,bird symbol of the state of São Paulo.
In Tupi (the indigenous language of Brazil), sabiá means “the one who prays a lot”, in reference to the voice of this bird. According to an indigenous legend, when a child hears the song of the sabiá in the early morning hours of spring, they will be blessed with peace, love and happiness.
