Saffron Finch

The saffron finch (Sicalis flaveola) is a tanager of open and semi-open lowlands across South America outside the Amazon Basin. It occurs naturally in Colombia, northern Venezuela, western Ecuador, western Peru, eastern and southern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, northern Argentina and Trinidad and Tobago, and has been introduced to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and elsewhere. Locally it is called a 'roof canary', but it is not related to the canary. The male is bright yellow with an orange crown, which distinguishes it from most other yellow finches. Females are usually a duller version of the male, but in the southern subspecies pelzelni they are olive-brown with heavy dark streaks. Five subspecies are recognised. It nests in cavities, old hornero nests, bamboo and under house roofs, and tolerates people well. Males may mate with two females and are territorial in the breeding season. The song is pleasant but repetitive, and it has been kept as a cage bird in many areas for its looks and voice. The IUCN assesses it as Least Concern. In Japan it is seen now and then at specialist bird shops.
