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.
Yes, Zebra Finches are from Australia, where they are actually slightly smaller than ones kept as pets.
the answer is yes finches can live out doors if you are talking about the british finch but it still neds a little cover from draughts and frost.
Purple finches are seed eaters, fond of sunflower seed at bird feeders. They glean seed and buds from trees and shrubs.
As a general rule, no, finches are not crimson. Although, there are a huge number of species of Finches--I'm sure that there are some which have crimson color.Crimson is a member of the Red color family--being strong and bright red with a touch of blue.
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.
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.
There are at least one finch species everywhere but Antarctica.
Sick or elderly birds may, but healthy birds can survive tough winters.
they are just like chickens...... they can lay different color eggs
Jennie Finch, a former professional softball player, had a career batting average of .278.
The boundaries were between Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose's house (two doors north of the Finchs) and the Radley house (three doors south)
both poets imply that value and dignity lie in the simple beauties of life, not in ambitious pursuits
