南米原産のフウキンチョウであり、姿も歌声も美しいのでハワイなど他国に移入されました。 オスは明るい黄色であり額の部分はオレンジっぽい色をしています。メスは茶色っぽい縞模様の羽毛を持ちオスより地味です。
The saffron finch is a tanager native of South America, and has been introduced to other countries because its figure and singing voice are attractive. The male is bright yellow with an orange crown. The female is quieter than the male having the feather of the brown-like striped pattern.

この小鳥はコロンビアでは屋根カナリア、ブラジルでは地上カナリアと呼ばれているそうです。 カナリアはカナリア諸島原産アトリ科の小鳥、この小鳥は南米原産のフウキンチョウ科の小鳥です。 違った科の小鳥ですが姿や生態もとても似ています。

They have a wide distribution in Colombia, northern Venezuela (where it is called "roof canary"), western Ecuador, western Peru, eastern and southern Brazil (where it is called "native canary"). Canary is a bird of Canary Islands origin and belongs to Fringillidae, while this bird is of South America origin and belongs to Thraupidae. They are very similar in appearance and ecology even though they are in different families.

キンノジコのメスが木の枝に止まっています。木洩れ日の光と影に隠れたカモフラージュになっています。 動かなければ見つかりません。フウキンチョウは南米原産の羽毛の美しい小鳥ですが、メスは共通して地味な色をしています。 これも自然淘汰の結果なのでしょう。
Female Saffron finch is perching on a tree branch. It has become a camouflage that was hidden in the light and shadow among the tree branch. It can not be found unless it moves. Tanager is birds with beautiful feathers of South America origin, but female has a sober color in common. This may be also the result of natural selection.
