Silver-beaked tanager, female


Silver-beaked tanager


The Silver-beaked tanager is a member of a typical American
family of birds (the Tanagers) with many brightly colored birds.
The male of this tanager has a beautifull deep red color
(maroon-crimson) and a silver-colored beak (first photo), the
female is less conspiciously red as in the second one. They often
fly around in groups of six to ten birds, making a lot of noise,
calling
their Surinamese name 'kin',
pronounced as 'tjeeng'. All day they are searching for fruit and
insects in the bushes. Their nest has the form of a cup, has
often 2 to 3 eggs and can be found in the same bushes. After
about twelve days the young hatch and after again twelve days
they can fly. The silver-beaked tanager has no specific breeding
season in Suriname. All year long nests can be found, more of
them in the rainy season. Except
