The predators of the purple finch are cats, dogs, snakes, eagles and even foxes. Most other animals will not have access to the finch.
Charles Darwin discover the finches in Galapagos in 1831. He noticed that the finches beaks were different compared to the finch's in Ecuador.
The Galapagos Islands.
Peter and Rosemary Grant chose to study the Finches in the Galapagos because they were hybrid.
Animals on the Galapagos Islands evolved in isolation, leading to unique ecosystems with few natural predators. The islands' remote location and limited food resources contributed to a relatively stable environment where many species adapted to thrive without the pressures of predation. Additionally, human activity, such as the introduction of invasive species, has altered some predator-prey dynamics, but many native species remain free from natural predators. This unique evolutionary history has resulted in the distinctive fauna found on the islands today.
All known species of Darwin's Finches are found on the Galápagos islands. With the exception of one, the Cocos Finch, which is found on the Cocos Island. Darwin's finches are not actually true finches. Darwin knew they weren't finches, but an ornithologist called Percy Lowe, later in 1936 incorrectly called them "Darwin's Finches" in a book, a term which unfortunately stuck.
A small island in Galapagos can hold a large number of finches due to absence of their natural predators .
