Bico-de-Lacre

The nozzle-to-tag is a passerine bird family Estrildidae. Also known as kiss-of-girl (Minas Gerais), tip-seal-of-common-bill can (Santa Catarina) and bombeirinho (Holy Spirit).

It is an exotic species from the southern region of Africa. Introduced in Brazil through the slave ships during the reign of King Peter I. Reintroduced into the interior of Sao Paulo in the second half of the nineteenth century. It must have been taken to other states by man, because, due to its reduced flight capacity, its distribution is less spontaneous than the sparrow.
