Editing Tanager (section)

===Breeding===
The breeding season is March through June in temperate areas and in September through October in [[South America]]. Some species are territorial, while others build their nests closer together. Little information is available on tanager breeding behavior. Males show off their brightest feathers to potential mates and rival males. Some species' courtship rituals involve bowing and tail lifting.

Most tanagers build [[cup nest]]s on branches in trees. Some [[Bird nest|nests]] are almost globular. Entrances are usually built on the side of the nest. The nests can be shallow or deep. The species of the tree in which they choose to build their nests and the nests' positions vary among genera. Most species nest in an area hidden by very dense vegetation. No information is yet known regarding the nests of some species.

The [[clutch (eggs)|clutch]] size is three to five [[Bird egg|eggs]]. The female incubates the eggs and builds the nest, but the male may feed the female while she incubates. Both sexes feed the young. Five species have [[Helpers at the nest|helpers]] assist in feeding the young. These helpers are thought to be the previous year's nestlings.
