HI Tina, they are called SabiĆ” Laranjeira - Turdus rufiventris.

They are the Brazilian symbol birds .... officially recognized by the President Fernando Henrique Cardoso in 2002, now among the flag, the hymn (anthem), the coat of arms and the label.

here is the bird singing...

Hi Aleyna, I Googled the name of this bird and then after clicking on the translation bit found photo's and a description of the bird.It's head looks like that of out female Blackbird and the orange breast is amazing which doesn't show up on your photo.

I also found a link for youtube and listened to the song.It is most unusual but very nice to listen to.My cat Willow was most intrigued and was climbing all over the laptop thinking it was for real.He has a thing about bird song and me whistling lol.

Another name I have found for it is Rufous-Bellied Thrush,but I am not sure if that is the English name for it...

I'm not sure, it seems to be a Guapuruvu by the shape of the leaves.

I had 2 choices, show the bird in a cage :o(
i really dont like... seeing birds in cages... or that one...
sincerelly i prefered to see the bird free in a big city than locked in a cage... no excuses like... they are safe cause they have born in a cage etc etc.... i just dont agree... birds have the most beautiful of freedoms.. they can fly
