Their beaks were adapted to match the foods they ate.

That the finches were similar to the ones on the mainland, but had adapted to the island environment.

Darwin observed a variety of species on the Galapagos Islands, including finches, tortoises, and mockingbirds. These observations were instrumental in his development of the theory of evolution by natural selection.
The Galapagos Islands. About 600 miles due West of Ecuador.
Darwin was puzzled about the many adaptations of the finches on the Galapagos Islands

the animal Darwin examined were finches on the Galapagos islands (at least finches were the main thing he studied)
Darwin observed approximately 13 different species of finches during his visit to the Galápagos Islands. These finches, often referred to as "Darwin's finches," exhibited variations in beak shape and size, which were adaptations to their specific diets and environments. This observation played a crucial role in his development of the theory of natural selection.

He observed the finches from the Galapagos islands, the mussels from the land lifted in Chile, the huge tortoises and dark lizards.
