Finch
Finches are small, compactly built birds ranging in length from 10 to 27
cm (3 to 10 inches). Most finches use their heavy conical bills to
crack the seeds of grasses and weeds. Many species supplement their diet
with insects as well. The nestlings are unable to crack seeds and so are usually fed
insects. Many finches are brightly coloured, often with various shades
of red and yellow, as in crossbills, goldfinches, and cardinals. Others,
especially those that live in grass or low bushes, are demurely clad
and protectively coloured, although even these may be attractively
spotted and streaked.
