House Finches are small-bodied finches with fairly large beaks and somewhat long, flat heads. Their wings are short, making the tail seem long by comparison. Adult males are rosy red around the face and upper breast, with streaky brown back, belly and tail. In flight, the red rump is conspicuous. Adult females aren't red; they are plain grayish brown with thick, blurry streaks and an indistinctly marked face.
They normally forage on the ground for grains, seeds, berries and small insects like aphids. House Finches will readily eat sunflower seed and nyjer from both tube and finch feeders.
Fun Facts:
They are frequent visitors to bird feeders throughout the year, particularly if stocked with sunflower or nyjer seed, and will congregate at hanging nyjer sock feeders.
House Finches are aggressive enough to drive other birds away from places such as feeders.
House Finches are gregarious birds that collect at feeders or perch high in nearby trees. When they're not at feeders, they feed on the ground, on weed stalks, or in trees. They move fairly slowly and sit still as they shell seeds by crushing them with rapid bites. Flight is bouncy, like many finches.
House Finches frequent city parks, backyards, urban centers, farms, and forest edges across the continent. In the western U.S., you'll also find House Finches in their native habitats of deserts, grassland, chaparral, and open woods.
House Finches, particularly males, can look very different from one to another. This is largely due to differences in their diet rather than regional differences.
