Tenerife blue chaffinch

The Tenerife blue chaffinch (Fringilla teydea) is a species of passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.

The species' primary habitat is mountain Canary Island pine (Pinus canariensis) forest.

It is most common in coniferous forest areas with dense undergrowth, but it is also found in laurel and pine woodland, tree-heath, and scrub.

[3] Breeding from the end of April to late July or early August, it builds a nest from pine needles and broom branches, and lays two eggs.

Individuals may form small flocks outside the breeding season, sometimes associating with common chaffinches and other finches.
