The Diademed Tanager.
The female has darker feathers and a grayish crown.
Its beak is small and hooked. The Diademed Tanager uses it for cutting and crushing fruits, worms, grubs, buds, and leaves, and these birds especially love leaves from banana trees.
The Diademed Tanager is a very friendly type of bird, so it doesn't have a problem spending time with birds from other species.
The Diademed Tanagers don't like to be alone; they prefer to live in small flocks of 5-10 birds.
When they find their match for breeding, the female begins building a cup-shaped nest attached to a tree branch using moss and leaves.
After the nest is built, the female lays 2-3 eggs, and then the incubation period starts. During this period, the male brings food to feed the female. After the incubation period, when the eggs hatch, both the female and the male bring food for the newborns and feed them together.
The population of the Diademed Tanager is stable and has a wide range. Therefore, this species of bird does not belong to the list of vulnerable species.
