Because they eat different stuff. Just like rabbits and cats have different teeth.
evolution.
do all finches have the same beak.
The shape of a finch's beak is different according to what food it eats.
adaption of the finches to different environment
natural selection
he saw that in the different places and things the finches ate made their beak a different size and shape to adapt to their surroundings

he saw that in the different places and things the finches ate made their beak a different size and shape to adapt to their surroundings
He realized the the finches had been able to adapt to their natural surroundings to survive.
Finches developed many different adaptations. For example, one type of finch had a short strong beak meant for cracking seeds, while another had a long narrow beak for gathering food from the inside of flowers, and cacti, therefore making each species more adapted to its specific environment and more able to gather food then they would on another island with a different main food source.
how finches use their beaks
Finches have many different types of beak shapes. Their beak shape depends on what they eat. Some finches have some long thing beaks while other have short stubby beaks, it all depends on what they eat. Sources: Charles Darwin!
The numbers of birds with different beak shapes are changed by natural selection in response to the available food suply.
