Brazilian birds are classified, according to IBAMA (which regulates the breeding of these animals) in domestic, exotic and wild (or native), the latter referring to those who were born in the country and were not domesticated.
In addition, for the creation of some of these birds, it is necessary to have authorization from the responsible body. In addition, the breeding of wild animals is an environmental crime and can lead to very expensive fines.
Parakeets are one of the main domestic birds raised in Brazil. They are small parrots, and the green parakeet, native to the Brazilian biome, is quite popular among breeders. In addition, they are noisy and can even imitate the singing of some other birds.

The orange thrush is considered a symbol of Brazil. It is the best-known species of thrushes, easily identified by its rusty color and its melodious song when it is in the reproductive period. In fact, songs like Tristeza do Jeca and Majestade, o sabiá were inspired by this bird.
This is one of the most popular birds in the country, commonly found in different places, from cities to woods and forests. The cerrado is one of their favorite environments. The name is an onomatopoeia referring to his singing, as he seems to say “I saw you well” when singing.
