House Finches are excellent singers, often serenading their mates with complex songs, proving even a backyard bird can be a true romantic! Male House Finches get their brilliant red coloring from pigments in their diet; the more carotenoids they eat, the redder they become! Talk about a visible health report! While the males get all the flashy red, female House Finches are the true architects, often choosing their mates based on the male's vibrant (and food-sourced) coloring! Did you know House Finches were originally found only in the western US? A small population released in New York in the 1940s led to them spreading across the entire continent. They're the ultimate east-coast transplants! These finches are not picky eaters; they often visit feeders and enjoy a wide variety of seeds. Talk about an easy date! House Finches are quite the foodies, sometimes eating up to 10% of their body weight in seeds each day – it's like a tiny, feathered eating contest champion! House Finches are known for their adaptable nature, thriving in various human-altered environments and often singing their cheerful, warbling tunes from high perches! Male Purple Finches are often described as looking like a House Finch 'dipped in raspberry juice' due to their richer, more uniform red coloration! Tufted Titmouse often store seeds in tree bark or other crevices, remembering their locations for later meals, which is quite the memory game for a little bird! This Pine Siskin is quite the seed connoisseur, often hanging upside down to get to those hard-to-reach treats!
