    One of the best known birds in the country. Present throughout Brazil and also from North America to all of South America. Very common, it occurs in virtually all open and semi-open habitats, appearing quickly in open clearings in forested regions. It also inhabits the surroundings of houses and gardens, including in the center of cities, and occupies islands on the maritime coast.

    Rufous-tailed Jacamar. Ariramba de cauda ruiva

    The long beak and iridescent plumage are reminiscent of a large hummingbird, but the ariramba belongs to another family of birds (called Galbulidae). It is also known as the needle-nose and goes by many other names. It feeds on insects, which it hunts in flight. It can be found in a large part of Brazil, except in the southern region.

    Great-billed seed finch (Bicudo-verdadeiro)

    The great-billed seed finch (Sporophila maximiliani) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, swamps, and heavily degraded former forest. They are found in two separate general populations, one in the northern Amazon rainforest and the other in the Cerrado. They live in flooded areas with nests low to the ground. The adults express strong sexual dimorphism. Males are black with white under wing-coverts and ivory white bills, and the females are generally light brown with white under wing-coverts and black bills. Both the male and female have very large, thick bills. The great-billed seed finch has a melodious call, which has made it a target for trapping. Although the population is quickly declining due to trapping and loss of habitat, not much is known about its behavior and ecology. The great-billed seed finch exists in two separate populations in South America. The southern population is found in the Cerrado and in the Cerrado enclaves into the transition zones in Atlantic Forest. The northern population is found in the northern Amazon rainforest.
    The great-billed seed finch is specialized to live in humid environments and is often associated with flooded areas and marshy borders.

    Red-cowled cardinal (Cardeal-do-nordeste)Galo de campina

    Red-cowled cardinal (Cardeal-do-nordeste)Galo de campina

    The red-cowled cardinal (Paroaria dominicana) is a bird species in the tanager family (Thraupidae). It is not very closely related to the cardinals proper (Cardinalidae). It is endemic to Brazil. It occurs in a wide range of dry to semi-humid open to semi-open habitats in north-eastern Brazil, especially the Caatinga region. It has been introduced (probably by means of escaped caged individuals) to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, being locally common even in urban areas. It is endemic to Brazil.
