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.


Why are purple finches called purple finches?

Most likely because they are the color purple. The females and immature males are dull brown with dark-brown streaks, but the mature males have a purple "cape" over their head, throat, and the upper part of their backs. So, yes, you can see purple finches that are not purple. Male purple finches are more of a rosy,red color, with a white belly.They have been described as a sparrow dipped in raspberry juice.

Why did Darwin say the finches on the galapagos lslands were new species of finches?

Darwin did not say this. Darwin collected finches from the Galapagos islands, believing them to be other words. It was the famous ornithologist, John Gould, who confirmed that 12 samples were all finches, but with enough minor differences for them to be considered new species. While it was Gould who called them new species, it confirmed to Darwin some of the ideas he'd had about the stability of species, how one colony of organisms can split up and adapt to a new environment.
