Saffron Finch
hello! i got a bird question that i think perhaps you'd know the answer to.
here in my yard is currently Sicalis flaveola nesting season (im being cussed out daily by little feather balls because i DARE walk around in MY house close to where some couples have decided to build their nests), and i've noticed one couple where both of the birds are yellow.
this species has the adult male yellow and the adult female grey (predominantly grey. may also be a yellowed grey), but it is clear that these two are very very bright yellow. would it be a case of a unusually colored female or is it a male pair? and if it is a male pair, does the nesting instinct happens even if there are no eggs in the oven?

Not in the true finch family. In the tanager family.
Okay, so, there is apparently a lot of variation int he appearance of females... some are much more yellow, and some are rather brown and gray. Saffron finches have a few subspecies, and females have a lot of variation across their geographic range.
So, you are witnessing a male-female pair in which the female is just very yellow.

Saffron Finch
Canario - Sicalis Flaveola (Juvenil) by Oscar Marino Es una especie de ave paseriforme de la familia Emberizidaeque vive en Sudamérica. Es común tanto en áreas abiertas como en los sotobosques de tierras bajas fuera del Amazonas. El macho es amarillo, más oliváceo en alas, dorso y cola, y con matices anaranjados en frente y cara. Esta última característica lo distingue fácilmente de otros jilgueros del género Sicalis. La hembra es de color parduzco más claro en el vientre, con estrías oscuras en pecho y dorso, aunque en algunos lugares como en Cali - Colombia suele ser también amarilla y solo se distingue del macho por un tono más pálido. Es de costumbres terrícolas, es común verlos en grupos de uno o dos machos y varias hembras, alimentándose en el suelo. Su dieta consiste fundamentalmente en semillas de gramíneas, y en menor medida insectos. Anida en cavidades y a veces usa nidos abandonados por el hornero (Furnarius rufus). Tiene un repetitivo reclamo, que combinado con su apariencia lo ha hecho una especie muy cotizada como ave de jaula. Cuando están asustados pegan sus plumas y estiran el cuerpo y lo acompañan con sonidos alarmantes, generalmente reaccionan así ante un conflicto con un macho más fuerte que ellos, o una amenaza como un gato o un ave rapaz. Sus huevos son pequeños como almendras de color blanco puro y de cáscara delgada pero resistente. Alimentan a sus crías de pico a pico como hacen la mayoría de aves, las crías persiguen a sus padres con un continuo chirrido que no pasa desapercibido por su intensidad. La hembra construye el nido sola y el macho sólo la observa al mismo tiempo que le canta para animarla y van y vienen hasta que su nido está totalmente listo, si no es que ya han tomado otro abandonado. Si toman mucha confianza ponen sus huevos en tu huerta en una maceta, aunque estos huevos no suelen estar fecundados. Los huevos fecundados los ponen generalmente en sus nidos en los árboles. http://ift.tt/2BJkdmm
