Madagascar Blue-Pigeon
Alectroenas madagascariensis
Medium-sized chunky pigeon that is dark blue with a maroon tail. Appears short-tailed in flight. Found in and around rainforest in eastern, central, and northern Madagascar. Most often seen perched up conspicuously on emergent trees, feeding on fruiting trees, or in flight in small flocks. Virtually silent, which is very unusual for a pigeon. Dark-blue coloration separates it from all other pigeons on Madagascar.
Jandaya Parakeet
Aratinga jandaya
Strikingly colored parakeet with a yellow head and chest, orange around the eyes and bill, orange on the belly, and blue flight feathers. Highly gregarious and noisy; can be seen flying over forests, woodlands, and agricultural areas, as well as in cities.
Elegant Euphonia
Chlorophonia elegantissima
Very small, handsome finch of foothills and highlands. Occurs in a wide range of habitats, from humid pine-oak forests to brushy hedgerows in farmland, the common denominator being mistletoe. Usually in pairs or small groups, in or near mistletoe clumps, from which it sings persistently, but can be hard to spot. Plumage distinctive: male deep rusty below with black throat and turquoise-blue hood; female greenish overall with turquoise-blue hood and rusty forehead. Formerly known as Blue-hooded Euphonia.
