Birds That Are Red and Black

Black and red birds are pretty appealing to look at. Most of these are tanagers, woodpeckers, and orioles, however, there are other red and black birds.

These birds get their colors from a combination of two pigments. Melanin is a pigment produced internally by them to give a black color, while they ingest carotenoids as part of their diet to display a red hue.
