I would have included the bay headed and golden tanagers, but there are so many beautiful tanagers, which makes creating a top ten a challenging endeavor. Great job all around.
Same in Oklahoma City and Phoenix where I went. Grandparents in Miami said they stay year round in the Keys. Most fly down to Mexico, Central and South America for winter
*IMPORTANT WARNING FOR PET BIRD OWNERS:* The food that we normally give to the canaries (and other companion birds) consisting of a "complete, balanced and top-quality seeds mixture" bought in pet stores or malls, makes the owners trust that their pet is well fed, but it's not so: indeed the birds health is at serious risk. The owners of canaries, parrots, cockatoos, budgies, cockatiels, etc., WE MUST PAY ATTENTION TO DOMESTIC BIRD BREEDERS AND VETS and keep in mind that although we feed them with such a typical seeds mixture, our birds are very likely in danger of suffering a painful and unexpected PREMATURE DEATH BY FATTY LIVER DISEASE. Canaries, for example, will surely die at 4 - 7 years of age of the more than 15 that they can live. It's sad that pet birds are fated to die early and painfully in so many cases. You have to warn people to avoid it! This deadly disease is very common in pet birds but owners usually don’t know or detect it in time. And we can’t imagine that *THE CAUSE IS IN THE FOOD ITSELF* that we provide to our birds, in which such *a typical mixture contains low-fat seeds such as canary seed together with other VERY fatty seeds such as niger, hemp or nabine and, in addition, the birds usually prefer to eat the fatty seeds* so that their REAL DIET is unbalanced by excessive fat, gradually causes the fatty infiltration of the liver and in a few years causes fatty liver hepatitis and PREMATURE DEATH to pet birds. *Also the fruits and specially the breeding paste and its pigments and THE SUNFLOWER SEEDS ATTACK THE LIVER* if they are taken too much or for too long. It's a cruel disease that progresses silently and, when its unexpected symptoms begin, they are easily confused with other ailments so the owners usually postpone the visit to the vet at a time already critical for the life of the bird (besides that not all vets are trained to recognize this elusive and misleading disease, even to administer lipotropic and regenerative liver protectors in curative doses, just in case it's that and not a supposed blow). It's a process of slow and asymptomatic progression, but when their visible symptoms begin (acute phase) the disease accelerates. *SYMPTOMS OF THE ACUTE PHASE OF FATTY LIVER DISEASE:* First, overgrowth of beak and nails since months before, progressive sadness and/or pecking, hard belly (in many cases, with a dark spot with a half-moon shape on the belly, which seems a "tumor", to see it you have to wet your fingers to remove the down), falls from the sticks of the cage that seem for "errors of calculation" and then lameness (that make believe that they are by the previous falls, but both symptoms are due to that it hurts the liver), lack of flight and singing, the bird fluffs up his feathers or bends more or less slowly; Then, within a few weeks or a few days, heavy breathing with open beak, remaining lying on the floor of the cage near the food, sudden spasms from time to time (which make people believe that the bird is "epileptic" but it are twinges of pain of diseased liver), abundant greenish poop (caused by biliverdin which if it's not fasting, it means hepatic harm), then black and watery (from hepatic hemorrhages), then a strange purplish color of skin and beak, an excessive appetite and the final "improvement" of a few days (in the last phase, the already degenerated liver becomes deflated by what the bird seems to ameliorate), after which it suddenly dies among seizures (which may seem a "heart infarct" or a "stroke"). For the first symptoms the liver has already degenerated to 80% and only an urgent (and accurate) vet action can save your bird and revert the liver situation. If you simply feed your bird with the loose seeds mixture (even if you give it fresh fruits, vegetables and let it exercise, for example by letting it out of the cage at home), right now your pet's liver is degenerating, and neither you nor your bird know. *Without liver protectors, it's almost certain that your bird will die early and in many cases you won’t be able to determine its real cause.* Hepatic lipidosis it's not only deadly by itself when the visible symptoms begin (sometimes even it does not warn at all until few moments before the death). Even before the acute phase it predisposes the bird to suffer infections, as it weakens the immune system. Obese pet birds have an higher risk of many other diseases, like arthritis, heart disease and cancer. Obesity in birds it's not so apparent but it's more dangerous than in other animals like mammals. So in addition to giving to the birds lipotropic and detox / regenerating hepatic protectors preventively and routinely, breeders usually make their own mixtures with low fat seeds. *PREVENTION AND/OR TREATMENT:* The time to act is NOW that your bird doesn’t show yet the visible symptoms. It's necessary to ACTIVELY PREVENT THE LIVER DEGENERATION. Fortunately it's easy to do it: *It's very advisable to substitute progressively (within some weeks, as per the instructions of the manufacturer) the mixture of loose seeds for some pellets compound food of seeds, fruits and vegetables (preferably those that already include liver protectors), because this prevents the bird from filtering and eating mostly the fatty seeds (but without insisting if the bird does not get accustomed to eating pellets because he could die for starvation within a few days).* *And, whatever the diet, it's CRUCIAL to add to the drinking water or to the food LIPOTROPIC LIVER PROTECTORS that include carnitine and / or choline, betaine, methionine, etc., (and it's very convenient to add DETOX / REGENERATING LIVER PROTECTORS with thistle milk, boldo, artichoke extract).* Liver protectors are not medicine but cheap food supplements manufactured by pet bird vet laboratories that remove the fat from the liver, clean it and favor its recovery. It's essential to add them to the pet birds diet to conserve their liver. It's something that breeders and vets know, but we the owners usually don't know. It are appearing in the market compound feed for pet birds that don’t include fatty seeds and that already include several liver protectors. *But the vast majority of owners still confidently feed their birds with the typical mixture of loose seeds with little fat and other very fatty seeds... And their birds continue dying for hepatic lipidosis in a large number of cases (likely, in most cases).* Now we know that, as fatty liver disease develops from the daily food itself, it’s most likely *THE FIRST CAUSE OF DEATH OF PET BIRDS, and more so as the bird ages.* The clinical manifestations of hepatic diseases in ornamental birds are much more frequent than people could realize and in many cases they are not appreciated, progress in a silent way and when they are evident, vet action may arrive late. Most any avian symptomatology should be considered as if it was a pathology that could be serious, and not allow the disease to develop because then it will probably be too late. We must closely investigate the symptoms, take preventive measures that don’t harm (such as giving liver and intestinal protectors according to the leaflet) ask for advice from vets, breeders, etc. and procure the most appropriate treatment RAPIDLY, but without rushing in the treatment or with the doses in such small animals. If the days go by and the bird doesn’t improve, it's necessary to continue investigating and, if necessary, change the medication in an informed and contrasted manner. Doing nothing or stopping research usually ends up with the bird dead, but acting without being sure of what is done and in what dose, it likely ends the same way. It's necessary to obtain and confirm the sufficient vet experience and have the serenity to determine in each case whether it's convenient to hasten to do and / or administer what medicine and in what dose, or if it’s better not to do and let the situation evolve without medicating for the time being, or according to the medication that has already been administered. A limp in a bird is not always an injury caused by a blow, but the symptom of a disease of some organ (usually the liver or an intestinal disease) that needs to be discovered and treated ASAP. When in doubt, change diet to one with the lowest fat possible (only birdseed, or with other low-fat seeds such as millet, chia and vegetables) and administer lipotropic and regenerating liver protectors in curative doses immediately... although nothing could foresee a fatal outcome. There are also food supplements protectors of the intestinal mucosa and stimulants of the immune system. In doses according to the leaflets do not cause damage, it will surely save the life of your bird (if it's not too late), and will keep them with a basic wellness.
@Celtic Phoenix Yes, pellets are better than loose seeds mixtures, because this way the bird can't filter and eat mostly the fatty seeds. . To accustom the birds to eating food compounds (preferably those which already include liver protectors) instead of loose seeds, first you have to mix the two types of food in the same feeder. Then you gradually increase the quantity of the new type of food as well as decreasing the proportion of loose seeds within some weeks (as per the manufacturer instructions). . I don't want to say a specific brands of healthy pet birds food (both, loose seeds mixtures or pellets), also because I don't know in what country you live. Just read the composition of each brand of food for pet birds, and confirm that it contain the liver protectors I mention in my main comment above (and also below in this comment). . Normally the birds eat the food compound and they like it, but it also may happen that the birds don't get accustomed to eat pellets; If this is the case, *don't insist on that the bird should eat the pellets at any cost, because the bird could die for starvation (the smaller the bird, the sooner it may die for this cause. A canary could die in just 1 or 2 days without food and/or water).* . You also can make your own loose low-fat seeds mixtures, as indeed most breeders do. . Some seeds pet birds eat: . LOW FAT SEEDS: - Birdseed. - Thistle. - Chia. - Foxtail millet (sold normally on branch). - Quinoa (sold separately) - Perilla. The great "invention" of fatty seeds is the white perilla. This one, unlike the other fatty seeds does not damage the liver nor the intestine. It can be supplied in winter for pet birds to better resist the winter low temperatures, but don't give too much because it makes our birds fat. It can replace rapeseed and flaxseed. . HIGH FAT SEEDS: - Sunflower seeds (the most fatty seed, be most careful with this one as it heavily damages the liver). - Hemp (also very careful with this one as administered in excess causes liver damage). - Nabine (can damage the liver and create indigestion). - Niger seed. - Flaxseed. - Rapeseed. . There are videos in UA-cam of breeders explaining the proportions of the different seeds they use to make their loose seeds mixtures. . So, *whatever the food (loose seeds mixture or pellets of compound food), it's ESSENTIAL to include into their diet the specifically developed liver protectors (both, LIPOTROPIC and detox/regenerating), by administering a few drops in the drinking water (as per the respective leaflets), to keep the birds with a basic wellness and their liver clean of fat, for avoiding the covert, misleading and deadly FLD.* . This is BASIC info every pet bird owner should get at first when getting a birb, as this disease it's caused by the food these animals eat... Sadly, pet stores normally don't do it! . Liver protectors are not medicine but cheap, necessary food supplements manufactured by pet bird vet laboratories all around the world precisely for this purpose of preventing and/or curing the hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease. . *LIPOTROPIC LIVER PROTECTORS:* Those food supplements containing some or several of the following: carnitine, choline, betaine, methionine, lysine, biotine, etc. . *DETOX / REGENERATING LIVER PROTECTORS:* The ones which contain: thistle milk, boldo, artichoke extract. . You should go to your favorite pet shop or vet office to ask them what lipotropic and detox liver protectors brands for pet birds are available in your country. . Also, you can buy them online. Just search in Google or in your favorite web search engine by the keywords "liver protectors for pet birds" or "lipotropic liver protectors for pet birds" and "detox liver protectors for pet birds" and (fortunately) one gets lots of results.
Get RID of the young broad narrating these things.....her false emotive style SUCKS, and her text is INACCURATE to the video ("...tanager lays TWO eggs...") when the video show 3 eggs in the nest. I really would like to watch your videos, but I CAN'T with this kind of disingenuous and incompetence! Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY
Tanagers are beautiful and I hope they don't go extinct
aww so cute tanager.
I would have included the bay headed and golden tanagers, but there are so many beautiful tanagers, which makes creating a top ten a challenging endeavor.
Great job all around.
Very very beautiful birds.i like it verymuch.
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
اعظم الحسنات قول لا اله الا الله
Nice, though I would've included the Western Tanager on the list.
awesome voice
Allah O Akbar
Allah is best creater
ALL PRAISES AND GLORIES TO ALMIGHTY ALLAH THEIR CREATOR!
VERY WELL DONE VIDEO!
Beautiful like hummingbirds and peacocks
We have lots of Summer Tanagers near Athens, Ga. They chase the wasps everywhere.
Same in Oklahoma City and Phoenix where I went. Grandparents in Miami said they stay year round in the Keys. Most fly down to Mexico, Central and South America for winter
Nice video
You forgo the Western tanager.
Burung ini warna sangat indah , suara nya pun sangat merdu 😍
Burung apakah itu
EVERY BIRD IS SO CUTE🐧🐥
👍😍😍😍
Wonderful 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
Nice birds
6 no. is very 👌

There's tanagers in the USA, the Scarlett one comes to mind. They aren't only in South America. I'm pretty sure we have them in Sardinia also
Maybe in Sardinia are another species since tanagers are in the family Thraupidae wich is found only in the Americas
The scarlett tanagers only stay in the US during Spring and Summer and then fly down to the tropics.
Masallah
Thank you for this video! I love birds! Even have tattoos of birds because they are so lovely! ❤️💜💚
👍👍👍
