Como fazer seu Trinca Ferro cantar de CARA em território DOMINADO!

The true saltator (Saltator similis) is a passerine bird of the Thraupidae family, found in Brazil and neighboring countries. It has a general olive coloration, a grayish head, a light ocher throat, and an olive-gray breast and abdomen with a central ocher wash. Its diet is based on wild fruits and insects, and it can also feed on small vertebrates, even raiding the nests of other birds to feed on eggs and chicks. It is an extremely territorial bird, with the dominant male, through its extremely loud song, trying to keep away other males that attempt to enter its domain. In the wild, the saltator is found from Maranhão to Rio Grande do Sul[1]. Due to its wide distribution, the saltator ended up dividing into about 8 bird forms of the genus "Saltator," and practically all of them are the same. The male and female are identical, with their song being the distinguishing factor. In some cases, the female may develop a song similar to the male's, but not as high-pitched, making it perfectly distinguishable. The reason why some females develop this song is still unknown. This phenomenon has been observed in older birds. This bird is highly valued by breeders and is a constant target of wildlife smugglers. Its breeding in captivity requires special authorization from IBAMA, as this bird is part of the Brazilian fauna. Those interested in breeding this bird are recommended to purchase specimens from certified and banded aviaries to prevent bird smuggling. The Trinca-ferro is a bird that, when kept in captivity, requires a varied diet and a clean, spacious environment, with daily exposure to sunlight, preferably in the morning. Their breeding season occurs between August and February, and their litter typically consists of two or three young, with exceptions. The greatest difficulty in achieving their reproduction in captivity lies in feeding the young, which consists primarily of insects. In the wild, the parents provide a wide variety of species to provide all the proteins necessary for their development. Their natural habitat is the edge of forests, rarely found in dense forest areas, preferring to live at the foot of mountains or on top of hills, in secondary vegetation. Their lifespan is between 15 and 28 years.
