(Linnaeus, 1766)
The Blue Dacnis or Turquoise Honeycreeper, Dacnis cayana, is a small passerine bird. This member of the tanager family is a resident breeder from Nicaragua to Panama, on Trinidad, and in South America south to Bolivia and northern Argentina.
It occurs in forests and other woodlands. The bulky cup nest is built in a tree and the normal clutch is brown-blotched white two eggs. The female incubates the eggs, but is fed by the male.
The Blue Dacnis is 12.7 cm long and weighs 13 g. It has a relatively short bill compared to other honeycreepers. The adult male is turquoise blue with a black forehead, throat and back. The wings and tail are black edged with turquoise. The female and immature are mainly green with a blue head, paler green underparts and green-edged brown wings.
These are social birds which eat mainly insects gleaned from foliage, flowers or bromeliads. Fruit is often taken and usually swallowed whole, but nectar is rarely consumed. The Blue Dacnis’s call is a fruit thin tsip.

In 1994 UNESCO inscribed "Vicenza, City of Palladio" on its list of World Heritage Sites. In 1996 the site was expanded to include the Palladian villas outside the core area, and accordingly renamed "City of Palladio and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto".
Vicenza, a city in northern Italy, is the capital of the eponymous province in the Veneto region, at the northern base of the Monte Berico, straddling the Bacchiglione. Vicenza is approximately 60 km west of Venice and 200 km east of Milan. As of 2007, Vicenza had an estimated population of 119,038. Vicenza is the third largest Italian industrial city by export.The 16th century was the time of Andrea Palladio, who left many outstanding examples of his art with palaces and villas in the city's territory.

Vicenza e una citta del Veneto, capoluogo dell'omonima provincia.
E conosciuta come la citta del Palladio - che vi realizzo numerose architetture - ed e un luogo d'arte tra i piu importanti non soltanto del Veneto. E infatti meta di turismo culturale con flussi da ogni parte d'Italia ed anche dall'estero. Costituendo una realizzazione artistica eccezionale per i numerosi contributi architettonici di Andrea Palladio, la citta e stata inserita, nel 1994, tra i Patrimoni dell'umanita dell'UNESCO, di cui sono parte anche le ville palladiane del Veneto (dal 1996).
La citta e anche un importante centro industriale e economico italiano, cuore di una provincia costellata di piccole e medie imprese il cui tessuto produttivo ha registrato nel 2007 il terzo posto in Italia per fatturato nelle esportazioni, trainate soprattutto dal settore metalmeccanico, tessile e orafo: quest'ultimo raggiunge nel capoluogo berico oltre un terzo del totale delle esportazioni di oreficeria, facendo di Vicenza la capitale italiana della lavorazione dell'oro.
