Description
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], sanhaço-cinzento [sɐ̃ˈɲasu sĩˈzẽtu]), 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, 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.

Feeding Habits
Sayaca Tanager, a predominantly frugivorous bird, actively forages for a variety of fruits, buds, and insects, demonstrating a flexible and opportunistic diet. It exhibits no unique dietary adaptations, but its varied food preferences underline its adaptability to different environments.
Habitat
The sayaca Tanager leverages a multitude of environments, favoring open to semi-open habitats over dense forest interiors. It thrives within dry to humid areas, including light woods, savannas, secondary growths, and scrublands, often found near rivers or in farmlands. While adaptable to parks, gardens, and urban regions provided there's sufficient vegetation and fruit, it's less common at humid forest edges. The sayaca Tanager is a lowland species, typically up to 1000 meters elevation, but has been recorded at 3600 meters in the Bolivian Andes and is frequent up to 3000 meters in Argentina.
