Its feathers look as if someone painted the colors of a tropical sunrise onto a tiny bird.
The Blue-and-yellow Tanager is a beautiful songbird found in the tropical forests and woodlands of South America. Its brilliant blue upperparts contrast sharply with its golden-yellow underparts, creating one of the most eye-catching color combinations in the canopy. Often seen moving through branches in search of food, it feeds mainly on fruits and insects. Like many tanagers, it may also join mixed-species flocks, traveling with other small birds as they forage together.
