Saffron Finch

Sicalis flaveola

Saffron Finch

Adult Saffron Finches inhabit open grasslands, farmland, scrub, and gardens across much of South America, often nesting in cavities or nest boxes. They forage mainly on grass seeds and other small seeds, while also feeding insects to their young. Males are particularly known for their bright yellow plumage and repeated, musical songs used in territorial display.
