Cardenilla crestada

El cardenal crestirojo (Paroaria coronata) es un ave mediana llamativa, con brillante cresta roja, cara blanca y cuerpo gris. Es originaria de Sudamerica, desde Bolivia y Brasil hasta Argentina, y ha sido introducida en Hawaii y otras islas del Pacifico, donde se ha convertido en un ave emblematica de los jardines de Honolulu. Habita arbustos densos, bordes de pastizales y jardines suburbanos, donde se alimenta de semillas e insectos pequenos. A pesar de su nombre y parecido superficial, no esta emparentada con los cardenales norteamericanos, sino que pertenece a la familia de los tangaras.
