The question as phrased confuses what Darwin found. He did not find one species of finch on the Galapagos Islands and different species on another set of islands. He found different species of finches on different islands within the Galapagos archipelagos. Some had larger beaks for cracking seeds and some had smaller beaks for capturing insects. Some were physically larger and others were smaller. The primary differences between the finches correlated almost perfectly with the predominant food source available to them on each individual island.

Do finchs like water?

Finches love their water. They like to bathe and play in any water available. It's best to change your finches water daily because they aren't choosy what water they use to play in or drink. A small ceramic bowl placed on the cage floor will do nicely for a bird bath. Plastic bowls can be slippery and they could get hurt. You could probably find a nice bowl at the dollar store if you are short on funds.


If your finches are showing baldness is it necessary to contact your vet?

my family and i have 14 finchs, about 4 of them have baldness, one is almost totally bald. none have died or shown illment. You need to look at why the finches maybe losing their feathers. Explanations include pulling them out to make nests or due to a form of mineral defecincy, that one is pulling the others out to display dominance, or that they are suffering from a mite infestation. Catch one and have the vet take a look at it to rule out that last possibility. If the cause is parasites the vet may prescribe a cause of treatment; as a preventative measure completely gut the finches enclosure and scrub and disinfect everything.
