2nd bird
3rd photo
last one
Sorry this is the last one
My guesses:
1 Black-headed Grosbeak-the only native, the others are from South and Central America
2 Red-rumped Cacique
3 one of the Troupials
4 ?
5 Turquoise Tanager
Thanks
Sorry, not sure on #4 either!

No. 4 possible female Western Tanager?

That was my first thought too, but the bill shape doesn't match. And in a zoo, there's thousands of possibilities to consider.

I am thinking #4 is a rehabbed first year male Hooded Oriole. Looks like it has lost all but one of its tail feathers. Even though the back is not completely in focus, it does seem to show some faint barring. The brighter belly makes me lean towards male...
