Saffron Finch

For a cute Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday! Wild - at Sítio Macuquinho.

 

A bright yellow songbird of South America, there has been some disagreement as to whether the Saffron Finch belongs in the family Emberizidae with the sparrows or Thraupidae with the Tanagers. The Saffron Finch can be found in open and semi-open areas in lowlands outside the Amazon Basin. There are three, separate populations one in northern Colombia and Venezuela; another in Ecuador and Peru and the third in north-east Brazil to central Argentina. Mainly a seed eater, the Saffron Finch generally searches for seeds and small arthropods on or near the ground. Commonly kept as caged-birds, the Saffron Finch is very adaptable to human-modified habitats and subsequently is quite common throughout its range.
