Rufous-tailed Jacamar. Ariramba de cauda ruiva

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.

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.

The copper seedeater (Sporophila bouvreuil) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It was lumped with the pearly-bellied seedeater, (S. pileata) and known together as the capped seedeater before being split in February 2012.

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.

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.

The White-throated Seedeater(Golinho) is a passerine bird in the family Thraupidae. It is also known as brejal, patativa (Pernambuco, Ceará), golinho or golado (Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, Paraíba, Piauí), white-throat collar and collar. Like all the other members of the genus Sporophila, it can be called "pope-grass" accompanied by some other adjective. Spore is seed and phila comes from phyllo, which means affinity. They would really be the ones "who have an affinity for seeds" or "pope-grass. Measures about 10.5 cm. of lenght. The male has a blackened head and the rest of the upper parts are gray, the white throat, whose tonality extends upwards, forming an incomplete collar at the nape of the neck; the female and the young are gray-brown in the upper parts and yellow-white in the lower parts. Male puppies acquire adult plumage at about 18 months of age. Its song is a fine, persistent chirp, very varied and fast.

The sayaca tanager (Thraupis sayaca) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers. It is a common resident in northeastern, central, and southeastern Brazil (Portuguese: sanhaço [sɐ̃ˈɲasu] or sanhaçu [sɐ̃ɲaˈsu]), and Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina (where they are known as celestinos or celestinas). A few are recorded from far southeastern Peru, but its status there is unclear, in part due to the potential of confusion with the very similar juveniles of the blue-grey tanager. It occurs in a wide range of open to semiopen habitats, but generally avoids the interior of dense forest (such as the Amazon). This tanager visits farmland in search of orchards and adapts readily to urban environment, as long as some arboreal cover and a supply of fruits are available. It feeds on flowers, buds, and insects,[2] and this omnivorous lifestyle has helped it to become perhaps the most — or one of the most — common urban birds in southeastern Brazil, along with the rufous-bellied thrush.

The saffron finch (Sicalis flaveola) is a tanager from South America that is common in open and semi-open areas in lowlands outside the Amazon Basin. They have a wide distribution in Colombia, northern Venezuela (where it is called "canario de tejado" or "roof canary"), western Ecuador, western Peru, eastern and southern Brazil (where it is called "canário-da-terra" or "native canary"), Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, northern Argentina, and Trinidad and Tobago. It has also been introduced to Hawaii, Puerto Rico and elsewhere. Although commonly regarded as a canary, it is not related to the Atlantic canary. Formerly, it was placed in the Emberizidae but it is close to the seedeaters. The male is bright yellow with an orange crown which distinguishes it from most other yellow finches (the exception being the orange-fronted yellow finch). The females are more confusing and are usually just a slightly duller version of the male, but in the southern subspecies S. f. pelzelni they are olive-brown with heavy dark streaks.

The ultramarine grosbeak (Cyanoloxia brissonii) is a species of grosbeak in the family Cardinalidae. It is found in a wide range of semi-open habitats in eastern and central South America, with a disjunct population in northern South America. These birds are 15 cm long. The adult male exhibits a dark-blue plumage with bright-blue upper-wings. The females and the juveniles are brown. The ultramarine grosbeak is territorial; it doesn't fly in flocks. If a male invades the territory of another, for sure there will be a conflict with some violence. They inhabit the edge of swamps, secondary forests and plantations. The native range of these birds extends from Northeast and central Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay to Argentina. The also can be found northern Venezuela and Colombia. There are some morphological differences between subspecies from different regions.

The chestnut-bellied seed finch (Sporophila angolensis) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, but was until recently placed in Emberizidae. It is found widely in shrubby and grassy areas in tropical and subtropical South America. It has been replaced west of the Andes (and in Central America) by the closely related thick-billed seed finch (S. funerea). The two have often been considered conspecific as the lesser seed-finch, using the older scientific name O. angolensis.
