Purple Finch (Carpodacus purpureus)
Male Purple Finch (right) with an American Goldfinch.
The House Finch (Carpodacus mexicanus) is a resident bird virtually all over the United States and northern Mexico. It can be common at bird feeders and is one of the very familiar birds in suburban gardens in many areas.
Finches are passerine birds, often seed-eating, found chiefly in the northern hemisphere and Africa. One subfamily is endemic to the Neotropics.
Finch is the common name given to several unrelated groups of
seed-eating birds including the true finches, the Hawaiian
honeycreepers, and a family of tiny birds of tropical and
subtropical areas of Eurasia.
Finches have many bright and varied colours and patterns. It is these colourings that make Australian finches some of the most fancied birds in the world.
Finches are noted for their heavy bills designed for eating seeds, and the Black-throated Finch feeds on a wide variety, from grass seeds to berry seeds.
