Description
Guess, I'm starting a birdie render bringe :)
The Paradise Tanager is a little less than 6 inches in length. It is distributed in a broad arc round the north and west of the Amazon Basin. It appear to be absent from much of central Amazonia and south of the Amazon. You can usually find it in the rainforest canopy and edges of humid forests where it is often in mixed canopy flocks.
It eats mostly fruit but won't pass up a tasty spider or bug.
All of the most striking Tanagers in the world come from the tropical genus, Tangara. There are about 50 some species sometimes called callistes. The Paradise Tanager (T. chilensis) is called siete colores in Spanish from its seven hues, including green, scarlet, and purple.
Rendered in Poser 7 with very minor post
