saíra f (plural saíras)

  1. (Brazil) tanager, common name of various birds in the families Thraupidae and Emberizidae

Usage notes

The gender of this Portuguese zoonym is always feminine: when the gender of the being itself must be specified, saíra-macho for male and saíra-fêmea for female. Here, macho is treated as an undeclinable noun and doesn't necessarily need to agree in gender with the referent, but would change to macha if so.
