The Green-Headed Tanager Is A Gorgeous Bird (Amazing 10 Photos)

Strikingly beautiful multicolored Tanager is small (Length: 13 cm, Weight: 16-20 g) colorful and it is usually found in humid Atlantic forest and can be common in orchards, parks, and gardens, even near human settlements. And also, it frequents the forest borders and the clearings where it finds some trees and shrubs, and also the second growths.

The female lays 2-3 pale eggs, pinkish-white with brown and grey markings. The incubation lasts 13-14 days by female. The young fledge about 14-18 days after hatching. They still depend on parents for food for several weeks after fledging. A second brood is often attempted. The young from previous broods may accompany the adults for several months during the first year. The Green-headed Tanager feeds primarily on fruits, both cultivated and wild, such as oranges, papayas and bananas, and wild fruits such as figs from Ficus, and others from Hamelia and Urtica. It also takes berries from Bromeliads, seeds and insects.
