( for the material for the following descriptions i am again indebted to the kindness of my friend , mr g . v . hudson .
waimarino national park , 2800ft . , january , at sugar ( g . v . hudson ) ; one specimen . a beautiful insect of complex ornamentation .
♂ 36 mm . head , thorax pale moss - green mixed whitish and sprinkled black , a black transverse bar on collar , thoracic crests suffused deep red - brown . palpi dark grey , mixed deep reddish . antennae bipectinated to ¾ ( about 2 ) . forewings somewhat elongatetriangular , termen rather obliquely curved , hardly waved ; grey irrorated white and black and irregularly mixed dull green , edges of markings partially roughened ; dorsal edge mixed red - brown ; sub -
basal line partially edged black , a green spot following this beneath cell ; first line nearly straight , partially edged black ; orbicular subquadrate , laterally edged white and then black , reniform subquadrate , formed by a green bar between two black ones followed by a white blotch edged black posteriorly , beyond this a reddish - brown space , space between them tinged reddish - brown , claviform represented by a rounded reddish - grey spot edged posteriorly white and then black , four white dots on costa beyond middle surrounded black ; second line formed by a contorted grey streak irrorated white , edged anteriorly by some blackish scales ; subterminal slender , whitish , shortly angled towards costa and shortly bidentate beneath middle , in disc edged anteriorly green suffusion mixed black towards middle , on dorsal third suffused pale rosy - brown and preceded by a subcrescentic dark fuscous blotch , posteriorly edged blackish suffusion except towards extremities , on costa edged black anteriorly : cilia light brownish , slenderly barred whitish , a dark grey antemedian and red - brown apical line . hindwings grey ; cilia grey , base and tips whitish .
waimarino national park , 2800ft . , january , at sugar ( g . v . hudson ) ; one example , taken on the same night as the preceding . these two species are undoubtedly allied together , but the differences are such that it is not credible that they can be only sexes of the same . both examples are in very fine condition .
mr hudson sends what is probably the ♀ of this ; forewings ground - colour light grey except in middle of disc , orbicular roundish , reniform posterior ⅔ white , subterminal line more suffused white ; although differing thus considerably in appearance from the two ♂ specimens which i have seen , i think it is the same species .
♂ 39 mm . head , palpi , thorax red - brown , partially sprinkled ochreous - whitish . forewings rather elongate - triangular , termen crenulate ; red - brown , along costa sprinkled ochreous - whitish ; subbasal line in disc shortly whitish edged black ; first and second lines hardly paler than ground colour , waved ; spots very finely edged black , orbicular oval , slightly touched white within margin , open above , claviform hemispherical , resting on first line , reniform mostly finely edged white within black margin except beneath ; subterminal line consisting of small fine disconnected white filaments placed in small suffused dark fuscous spots : cilia red - brown , two darker shades . hindwings rather dark grey ; cilia light red - brown .
flora river , bred january from larvae feeding on nothofagus menziesii , two examples ( g . v . hudson ) . larva moderately stout , very dark rich green finely speckled with yellow dots and still more finely with blackish , especially on ventral surface ; a very conspicuous wavy serrate white lateral line faintly edged with orange - pink above near middle of each segment : of very sluggish habit , resting amongst foliage in form of a loop ; in this position the wavy serrate lateral line gives exactly the effect of the slightly serrate edge of the leaf of n . menziesii , and a detection of the larva in situ is almost impossible : absolutely distinct from the larva of m . ochthistis .
waimarino national park , 2800ft . , january ( g . v . hudson ) . nearest muscosata .
♂ 24 mm . head , palpi thorax grey irrorated whitish . antennal pectinations 6 . forewings triangular , apex somewhat prominentrounded , termen little oblique , somewhat sinuate above , rounded beneath ; grey ; costal edge ochreous - whitish spotted dark grey ; median band broad , with faint ochreous tinge , preceded by a slightly curved fascia of 3 or 4 dark fuscous striae separated by light grey , and limited posteriorly by 3 dark fuscous striae separated by whitish lines becoming white in disc above middle , rather prominentcurved in middle , beyond these a thick dark fuscous shade on costal half of wing : cilia grey , outer half whitish in sinuation . hindwings light grey ; a faint darker curved postmedian line ; cilia light grey , outer half whitish - tinged .
♂ 27 mm . head , palpi , thorax grey speckled whitish . forewings narrow , gradually dilated , termen slightly rounded , rather oblique ; 5 absent ; grey speckled white and irregularly sprinkled black ; an indistinct dark fuscous mark on costa about ⅓ , and traces of rather oblique first line ; two indistinct dark fuscous dots on angles of cell ; some brownish suffusion towards apex , and a marginal series of small cloudy dark fuscous spots round apical part of costa and termen : cilia grey speckled whitish . hindwings whitish - grey ; cilia whitish .
whangarei , march ( commander patterson ) ; one example . mr hudson states that a specimen was also taken by mr c . e . clarke at lake rotomahana in february , 1915 , but apparently not recorded . the species is a native of eastern australia , where it is not uncommon ; in new zealand doubtless an immigrant .
♂ 16 mm . head , thorax grey mixed white . palpi dark grey , apical edge white . forewings elongate - triangular , termen slightly rounded , oblique ; grey , costal and dorsal thirds suffusedly irrorated white ; an irregular streak of black irroration beneath cell from base to end ; a slenderer black streak in cell from middle to end , terminating in a white dot on angle of cell , and five rather irregular black lines on veins to termen , black dots on ends of terminal veins : cilia whitish - grey , a light grey subbasal line . hindwings light grey ; cilia pale grey , a darker subbasal shade .
whangarei , january ( commander patterson ) ; one example . allied to subita philp .
i have recently received from mr hudson specimens of this insect , bred from larvae on phyllocladus alpinus , taken at waimarino in january . as the result of further examination , i find that veins 7 and 8 in forewings are distinctly stalked , the stalk in some specimens being very short . the species , which was formerly placed in tortrix , should now be referred to capua as above .
♂ 13 mm . head grey . palpi dark grey sprinkled whitish . thorax grey , tegulae yellowish except shoulder . forewings elongate , costa gently arched , apex obtuse , termen obliquely rounded ; ochreous - yellowish , slightly orange - tinged ; a rather thick dark grey costal streak from base to near ⅖ , apex pointed ; plical stigma forming a small group of blackish scales ; some slight fuscous sprinkling from lower angle of cell to tornus : cilia ochreous - yellowish . hindwings grey ; an expanded group of erect grey hairs occupying base of wing ; cilia light grey .
wellington , december ( g . v . hudson ) ; one example . peculiarly distinguished by the expanded hairs of hindwings , doubtless a sexual character .
♂ ♀ 15–16 mm . head white sprinkled grey . palpi dark fuscous , base and apex of terminal joint white . thorax white , anterior margin dark fuscous . forewings elongate , costa gently arched , apex obtuse - pointed , termen very obliquely rounded ; white ; an elongate dark
fuscous spot on base of costa ; an irregular dark grey black - edged transverse fascia before middle , constricted beneath costa , dilated in disc , including a large subdorsal tuft ; an elongate - semioval blackish blotch on costa beyond middle , from which an irregular transverse streak of grey and black scales runs to dorsum ; an irregular transverse series of grey and black scales in disc beyond this ; an irregular dark fuscous apical blotch : cilia grey . hindwings and cilia grey .
whangarei , december ( commander patterson ) ; two examples . nearest conspicuella , but quite distinct .
♂ ♀ 18 . 22 mm . head white sometimes sprinkled grey . palpi white , second joint dark fuscous except apex ; terminal joint with dark fuscous median band . forewings elongate - oblong , apex obtuse , termen rather oblique ; white irrorated light fuscous ; narrow elongate fuscous spots on costa at base and before and beyond middle ; a fine black plical line from base to ⅓ ; a slightly downcurved longitudinal black streak in disc from about ⅓ to ⅔ , edged brown suffusion beneath ; a cloudy fuscous subcostal streak from middle to ¾ ; some dark fuscous or blackish dots round apical part of costa and termen : cilia grey - whitish . hindwings pale grey ; cilia grey - whitish .
wellington , december , january ( g . v . hudson ) ; seven examples . mr hudson has pointed out to me that this has been confused with balanophora , from which it is easily separable by the strong black streak in middle of disc . owing to this confusion , for which i am primarily responsible , mr philpott has described the true balanophora meyr . , under the name of milligani ( trans . n . z . inst . lviii , 87 ) .
♂ 12 mm . head , thorax whitish . palpi dark fuscous , apical edge whitish . forewings elongate , slightly dilated , costa gently arched , apex obtuse - pointed , termen nearly straight , oblique ; whitish costal edge tinged yellowish ; some scattered black specks except towards costa ; a black slightly raised dot beneath fold at ⅕ , two towards costa at ⅓ and before middle , one in disc between these , two at angles of cell , and one at dorsal end of fold in a slightly oblique line with these ; one or two blackish dots on tornal edge : cilia whitish . hindwings and cilia whitish .
whangarei , january ( commander patterson ) ; one example . allied to the australian aquilana meyr . ; there are several other australian species of paramorpha , but the genus is new to new zealand .
♂ 11 mm . head grey , face white . palpi blackish , terminal joint and apex of second white . antennae white ringed dark grey , a broad dark grey band towards apex . thorax whitish streaked
dark fuscous . forewings elongate , costa gently arched , apex obtuse , termen obliquely rounded ; fuscous irrorated darker ; a blackish costal patch from base to ¾ , narrow at base , posterior edge rather inwards - oblique from costa and reaching half across wing , lower edge margined white except on a short median flange , a blackish discal dot just beyond its angle : cilia light grey , a somewhat interrupted blackish subbasal line . hindwings and cilia grey .
gollans valley , wellington , january ( g . v . hudson ) ; one example .
♀ 7 mm . head whitish cèntrally mixed fuscous . palpi fuscous tip white . thorax whitish mixed dark fuscous . forewings light fuscous ; first half of wing occupied by three obscure whitish angulated fasciae irregularly edged dark fuscous , third broadest and angle reaching beyond middle of disc ; an oblique white strigula from costa about ⅔ , and three small white spots between this and apex , wing beneath these irregularly irrorated whitish , some dark fuscous scales , a fine white erect strigula from middle of termen ; a small suffused black apical spot : cilia greyish , two dark fuscous lines . hindwings and cilia light grey .
head with appressed scales , sidetufts loosely raised ; ocelli posterior ; tongue developed . antennae ¾ , ♂ dentate , shortly ciliated ( ½ ) , scape rather long and stout , without pecten . labial palpi very long , curved , ascending , second joint much exceeding base of antennae , with appressed scales , terminal joint shorter than second , slender , acute . maxillary palpi rudimentary . posterior tibiae with scales somewhat rough above . forewings 1b furcate , 2 from near angle , curved , 7 and 8 stalked , 7 to termen , 11 from middle . hindwings considerably over 1 , trapezoidal - ovate , termen not sinuate , cilia ¼–⅕ ; 2 from ⅔ , 3 and 4 connate , 5 parallel to 4 , 5–7 rather approximated towards base .
type notabilis philp . mr philpott has provisionally referred this species * ( of which i have received a pair by the kindness of mr hudson ) to the genus euprionocera turner , which i have not seen , but dr turner has regarded his genus as an oecophorid . the present species is not oecophorid by reason of the hindwings ; i refer it to the group of odites in the xyloryctidae , of which it is perhaps an early form . its place in the new zealand fauna is between scieropepla and agriophara .

the red-headed finch ( amadina erythrocephala ) ( also known as the paradise finch or the red-headed weaver ) is a common species of estrildid finch found in africa .

it has an estimated global extent of occurrence of 1,600,000 km ² .

it is found in angola , botswana , lesotho , namibia , south africa and zimbabwe .

males have vibrant red heads and chests while the females are duller .

the resemblance to the cut-throat finch is unmistakable .

the red-headed and cut-throat finch are the only members of the genus amadina .

amadinas with their heavy beaks resemble members of the lonchura , so they are actually more closely related to the pytilias such as the melba finch .

the red faced parrot finch is closely related to the blue faced parrot finch and should not be housed with them or any other parrotfinches so as to avoid hybridization .
the description for the red - headed finch ( latin name amadina erythrocephala ) can be found in the 7th edition of the roberts birds of southern africa . the amadina erythrocephala can be quickly identified by its unique roberts identification number of 856 and the detailed description of this bird is on page 1041 . you will find a picture of the red - headed finch on page 1057 .
temperament : the red faced parrot finch is generally suitable for mixed collection aviary and can bred as a colony .
the red - headed finch is a monogamous bird which means that the bird finds and breeds with one partner for the rest of its life . the bird lays between 2 to 5 eggs and they are coloured brown .
the red - headed finch ( amadina erythrocephala ) somewhat resembles its more familiar cousin , the cutthroat finch , but is a bit larger and , in my opinion , even more striking in appearance . it is also a more reliable breeder than the cutthroat and , if properly cared for , may live for over a decade . many keepers report that their red - headed finches mimic sounds , and the songs of other birds , quite well .
the red - headed finch has a height of 14 cms and weighs around 24 gms . the head is coloured red while the bill is coloured white . the amadina erythrocephala has a orange coloured throat , pink legs and a orange , yellow coloured back . the eyes are brown .
the red - headed finch is near endemic to the southern african region which means it is mainly found in this region but is not restricted here alone . the amadina erythrocephala can be found in other parts of the world .
a male linnet perched on earth . the summer male has a grey nape , red head - patch and red breast .
additional notes the resemblance to the cutthroat finch is unmistakable . the red head and cutthroat finch are the only members of the amadina family . amadinas with their heavy beaks resemble members of the lonchura ( mannikins ) , but are actually more closely related to the pytilias such as the melba finch .
this small finch is strikingly colourful with its mixture of red , white and black on the head , golden brown body and bright yellow wing bars .
males sport the red band across the throat which females do not have . juvenile males also sport this red throat band , whereas juvenile females do not .
the redheaded finch is a beautiful seed eating bird that can often occur in large flocks .
red - headed finches may be kept in large finch cages or outdoor aviaries . although they nest in colonies , only a single breeding pair should be kept in a cage . in an aviary or flight cage , multiple pairs may be housed together , but their behavior should be closely monitored for signs of aggression .
the male house finch has a length of about 5 1 / 2 inches , with red on the head , upper breast and flanks . in some regions the color red may be replaced with yellow or orange . this is due to the differences in regional diets .
it has been recorded as prey of falco chicquera ( red - necked falcon ) .
both sexes golden brown , red , black and white head and yellow wing bar .
in spacious quarters , red - headed finches may be kept with java rice birds , spice finches , button quails and similar birds . they also get along with cutthroat finches , but will interbreed with them and produce fertile hybrids .
the red faced parrot finch requires a good quality finch mix , seeding grasses and some fruits ( e . g . apple ) and leafy green vegetables . live food is essential at breeding season . mealworms , small crickets and small locusts can be offered . sprouted or soaked seed if available .
in place of the cutthroat finch’s attractive splash of color ( please see photo ) , the male has a bright red or crimson head , and his breast is beautifully marked with black - rimmed white spots . females lack the red head and are more somberly - colored in general .
it is a bird of open thorn - scrub habitats and brushy veldts , but also frequents farms , villages and even cities . red - headed finches breed colonially , utilizing abandoned weaver nests , tree cavities , and holes in building walls .
the sexes are similar except that the male ' s red face extends slightly behind the eye .
distribution of red - headed finch in southern africa , based on statistical smoothing of the records from first sa bird atlas project ( © animal demography unit , university of cape town ; smoothing by birgit erni and francesca little ) . colours range from dark blue ( most common ) through to yellow ( least common ) . see here for the latest distribution from the sabap2 .
the total house finch population across north america is staggering . scientists estimate between 267 million and 1 . 4 billion individuals .
payne , r . ( 2018 ) . red - headed finch ( amadina erythrocephala ) . in : del hoyo , j . , elliott , a . , sargatal , j . , christie , d . a . & de juana , e . ( eds . ) . handbook of the birds of the world alive . lynx edicions , barcelona . ( retrieved from urltoken on 9 july 2018 ) .
basic seed mix should include canary seed , white french millet , japanese millet , and yellow and red panicum .
the red headed finch is a large finch , as large as a java sparrow , and a first cousin of the more common cutthroat finch . they originate in africa and have long been regarded as a popular , though seldom seen cage bird . their breeding habits are not unlike that of cutthroats , however in my opinion they are more dependable and therefore easier to breed successfully than cutthroats . red heads can be prolific . they tend to nest readily in almost any type of individual cage or aviary . however their success depends largely on proper accommodations and their conditioning . typically these birds will begin nesting activities almost immediately if given a suitable cage and nest box and lay a clutch of eggs . however if they are not properly accommodated or conditioned , such hasty activities often result in abandoned eggs or abandoned newly hatched young , a common habit of cutthroats .
nesting receptacles : the red faced parrot finch will build a nest in a shrub or dry brush . equally it will build a nest in a wide variety of artificial nests including a nest box . in a breeding cage they will use a wooden nest box .
initially the house finch was a bird of the west , but because of its rosy breast and very melodic song , people wanted to own one .
) , so be careful when housing these species together . the red - throated parrotfinch has additionally hybridized with : royal parrotfinch (
the house finch is closely related to the cassin ' s finch and the purple finch , and in fact , there are places in washington where all three species can be found . all three species are streaked , and the males of all three have red plumage . the house finch , the most common and widespread of the three , typically has a red head , breast , and rump , but does not have red coloring on its brown back or wings . this helps to differentiate it from the other two . female house finches have blurrier streaks and grayer undersides than the other two species . the breast streaks do not converge in a central spot as on many sparrows . they lack clear white stripes on their heads . house finches have longer tails and appear more slender overall , and also have slightly curved bills , in contrast to the straight bills found in the other two species . like most finches , they have notched tails . there is considerable color variation among males , from pale yellow , to orange with bright red , this being the most common . many but not all males reach mature plumage in their first year . the variation in color is related to diet .
in common with some other birds native to harsh habitats , red - headed finches may be stimulated to breed at any time of the year if a nest box is provided . many owners have found that they are sometimes “too willing” to attempt nesting – starting out when given a box but failing due to age , aggression , poor condition or other factors .
thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
juveniles are generally a dull brown with darker streaking on the body , and lack the red , black and white markings on the head .
red headed finches , due to their size , require a decent size cage to be comfortable in . an individual breeding cage roughly 2 feet x 3 feet seems to be sufficient to accommodate them , but the larger the better . i prefer to breed them in large flight , or aviaries in a mixed collection or in a small colony of red headed finches . in individual breeding cages , only one pair should be kept per cage , as pairs in close confinement can be aggressive to each other and generally one pair will dominate the other . in walk - in flights or aviaries , their display of aggression is diminished by the size of the flight and possibly by their ability to move more freely establishing their own small territories .

description males are easily distinguished from the females by the rust red head coloration and more colorful breast color . juvenile males often fledge from the nest with some red on their head , but do not have the breast color of the males , but resemble the females in this regard .
the red of a male house finch comes from pigments contained in its food during molt ( birds can’t make bright red or yellow colors directly ) . so the more pigment in the food , the redder the male . this is why people sometimes see orange or yellowish male house finches . females prefer to mate with the reddest male they can find , perhaps raising the chances they get a capable mate who can do his part in feeding the nestlings .
the cock will sing a longer more drawn out trill than the hen . the cock may have slightly more vibrant and extensive red on top of his head and / or throat , but this method of sexing is often unreliable . the red on the hen ' s face does not extend behind the eye . the red on her rump may be less intense , and her belly may not
glisten
as much in the sunlight .

the red faced parrot finch prefers a planted aviary but will do well in small aviaries and can also be bred in a canary style cage . although they can be kept with other finches , only one pair of red faced should be housed per aviary . no spare cock birds should be allowed with a breeding pair . this should minimize the chances of aggression or injury occurring . spare adult hens can be left with breeding pairs and two nests may produce young .
the red headed finch is not as aggressive in a mixed colony as its cousin the cutthroat . while it is still a stout bird capable of defending itself , it is not as pugnacious and nasty and will leave other breeding finches alone . i had 3 pair breeding with a pair of hawfinches , a colony of spice finches and some mountain quail in the same flight without incident . i have also had single pairs in small breeder cages go to nest , but they do better in larger flights . they can also be raised under society finches . they have a very different begging behavior than the society chicks , so it is best to start with eggs under a pair of societies that have not raised any other kind of finch before . these first time parents have not
imprinted
on chicks and don ' t know what to expect from the hatchlings . still , many societies will not feed the young red headed finches due to their straight up begging pattern . it is also important that the eggs hatch under the societies . it seems that just placing hatched young in the nest is disturbing to the societies and they will not feed them .

cut - throats form strong pair bonds and are a social species . members of a pair may engage in allopreening . outside of the breeding season , these birds live in pairs or large flocks and may mix with other species such as red - headed finches , cordon bleu waxbills , red - billed quelea , and weavers . birds may engage in peering behavior at a singing male . they enjoy
dust bathing
and may benefit from access to a shallow dish of dry ( chemical - free ) earth . cut - throats are insectivorous , even when not breeding . they occasionally roost in nests .

house finches are native to the southwestern united states and mexico , but through natural and artificial range expansion , they are now abundant throughout north america . house finches first expanded into the columbia basin from points south in 1885 . they were introduced in the eastern united states when illegal caged birds were released in new york in 1940 . facilitated by dam construction and the conversion of steppe habitat to irrigated agriculture , they slowly expanded their range in washington through the early 20th century . they first arrived in western washington in the 1950s , and are now common throughout the state , with significant yearly increases recorded by the breeding bird survey since 1966 . in human - altered settings , this finch outcompetes its close relatives , the cassin ' s finch and the purple finch . its presence has been considered to be a major cause of the purple finch ' s decline in western washington .
the finch family is made up of acrobatic seedeaters with conical bills and notched tails . many are nomadic , wandering in winter in search of abundant seeds . most finch species flock outside the breeding season , and many form flocks during the breeding season as well . many finches have undulating flight patterns , and may give calls while in flight . they tend to inhabit forest patches and shrubby edges . most finch species are sexually dimorphic and monogamous , and although the females alone generally incubate the eggs , both sexes help tend the young . unlike many seed - eating birds that feed protein - rich insects to their young , many finches feed their young mostly seeds .
the oldest known house finch was a female , and at least 11 years , 7 months old when she was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in new york in 1985 , the same state where she had been banded in 1973 .
throughout their range , many house finch populations migrate , either short distances latitudinally or altitudinally . before 1945 , populations of house finches in the okanogan valley migrated south , but since 1945 , house finches in this area have been resident .
both the cock and hen are a bright , solid grassy green with a bright red head , throat , rump and tail . the beak is black and the legs are brownish horn . the juvenile is a more drab green with orange - carmine on its rump and tail and a hint of red on its head and throat . the juvenile ' s bill is at first amber yellow with a dark tip .
the alternate common name , paradise sparrow , is apt – in part due to the brilliant plumage but also because this 5 ¼ inch - long bird is stoutly built , and puts one more in mind of a sparrow than a typical finch .
cut - throat family . note how the juvenile cock ( second bird from the left ) has a red band across the throat which is more dull than the adult cock ' s ( bird on far right ) .
12–13 cm ; 17·5 - 30 g . male has head to nape , cheek and throat red , broad pale grey area on lores ; hindneck and mantle unmarked grey , rest of upperparts greyish - brown , . . .
house finches are common and with the exception of some areas in western north america , their populations appear to have increased between 1966 and 2015 , according to the north american breeding bird survey . partners in flight estimates a global breeding population of 45 million with 76 % in the u . s . , 21 % in mexico and 3 % in canada . the species rates a 6 out of 20 on the continental concern scale . house finch is not on the 2016 state of north america ' s birds ' watch list . these birds generally benefit from human development . however , populations underwent a steep decline beginning in january 1994 owing to a disease called mycoplasmal conjunctivitis . the disease causes respiratory problems and red , swollen eyes , making them susceptible to predators and adverse weather . house finch conjunctivitis was first observed at feeders in the washington , d . c . area . it’s not harmful to humans , but it has spread rapidly through the eastern house finch population and into the west . learn more here . back to top
the house finch is a recent introduction from western into eastern north america ( and hawaii ) , but it has received a warmer reception than other arrivals like the european starling and house sparrow . that’s partly due to the cheerful red head and breast of males , and to the bird’s long , twittering song , which can now be heard in most of the neighborhoods of the continent . if you haven’t seen one recently , chances are you can find one at the next bird feeder you come across .
plumage is in shades of pale , sandy brown with black flecks all - over . black - brown tail , creamy white chin and cheeks , chestnut brown patch on belly . beak and legs are a pale pink ( fleshy ) color . the cock sports a bright red band across the throat . male juveniles look like slightly dulled versions of their fathers ; even recently fledged males will have a dull red band across the throat . female juveniles look like dulled versions of their mother .

good quality finch mix , seeding grasses and some fruits ( e . g . apple ) and green leafy vegetables . live food is essential especially at breeding season to obtain optimal results . mealworms are ideal , also small crickets and small locusts can be offered . sprouted or soaked seed if available .
i have always bred this finch in large walk - in flights , they nest repeatedly for 2 - 3 successive clutches , occasionally resting for a short period before resuming breeding . most clutches result in 2 - 4 young , although some hatch as many as 5 or 6 , there always seems to be some mortality among the smallest ones . red heads are very nice finches for any collection , easy to get to breed , but tricky to raise , so they to present a challenge to even the best breeders but they are well worth the effort .
the vast majority of the house finch ' s diet is vegetable matter - - seeds , buds , berries , and nectar . they feed their young regurgitated seeds . they eat a few small insects , especially aphids , but are primarily seed - and fruit - eaters at all times of the year .
while these prolific birds will utilize nearly any type of box , the natural situation is to weave an elaborate , globular nest with a tunnel - like entrance way . superior results will be achieved if they are provided with a parakeet or large finch nest box and an ample supply of dry grass and nesting hair .
hens should be allowed time to fully mature before commencing breeding . best results are achieved if the hen is 12 months old prior to starting breeding . pair bonds are not strong and the red faced parrotfinch can usually be
re - paired
fairly easily and quickly .
the red faced parrot finches require livefood for successful breeding . parents will tolerate moderate nest inspection but came must be exercised . they can be fostered under bengalese but be sure to remove the young as soon as they have become fully independent and place them with their own species .
a house finch’s nest is a cup made of fine stems , leaves , rootlets , thin twigs , string , wool , and feathers , with similar , but finer materials for the lining . overall width of the nest is 3 - 7 inches , with the inside cup 1 - 3 inches across and up to 2 inches deep .
the house finch was originally a bird of the western united states and mexico . in 1940 a small number of finches were turned loose on long island , new york , after failed attempts to sell them as cage birds ( “hollywood finches” ) . they quickly started breeding and spread across almost all of the eastern united states and southern canada within the next 50 years .
breeder ' s notes these birds are quick to go to nest . those that have gone to nest too quickly though , seem to abandon their nests just as quickly . the first nests built by my red heads were rough nests of stiff materials . some of the pairs didn ' t even bother with that very much . since i always put sawdust in the bottom of my nestboxes , they would just lay their eggs in that , not bothering to carry any material to the nest . however , when provided with coconut fibers or long , fine grasses , they ' ll weave elaborate nests that are quite sturdy . they will weave a globular nest with a tunnel entrance in a large finch box . the nest cavity was lined with white chicken feathers . one nest that was built from coco fibers had some interesting features . they had many strands poking out of the nest hole . i thought this might be due to sloppy construction , but it may have been to protect the nest from animals peering into or trying to enter the nest . the male also produced a cavity in the front of the nest that he later deposited some infertile eggs into . again , i thought this was due to them just being sloppy , but later thought that this might be some sort of cock ' s nest or decoy that some african finch species are known to produce . it could have also just been the result of messy housekeeping . the red heads have very messy nests .
the nest can be either a small pad or a ball , made of grass and lined with feathers . it is typically placed in an old nest of another bird , such as a ploceus weaver , red - billed buffalo weaver , cape sparrow or a sociable weaver , although it may occasionally use a hole in a tree or building instead .
looking more closely , the lores and crown are black , the chin and forehead are red and the cheeks are white . the body is predominantly golden or tawny brown , but the belly and rump are white . the wings are mostly black with a large striking yellow band . the bill varies from pinkish to pale grey , and the legs are flesh coloured .
they make the most use of our gardens at the same time in late spring every year - between returning from their wintering grounds and the start of breeding , and at a time when natural food resources are at their lowest . more interestingly , this finch is increasingly using garden bird feeders , this may be because natural resources are in steady decline or more gardens are offering niger seed and sunflower hearts , which are both high energy foods that goldfinches seem to prefer .
pairs are most fertile when young , but should be at least 9 months old before breeding . birds can be bred in one - pair - per - enclosure ( better productivity ) or in a colony . if colony breeding , make sure there are at least as many hens as cocks . red - throated parrotfinches can be bred in cages , flights , or aviaries , but should be bred indoors in cooler climates .
because of their slightly large size , they require a suitable large nest box . i prefer a large wooden box at least 4
wide x 5
deep x 5 - 6
tall . they will build a simple nest if provided with suitable dried grasses and soft pine needles for this purpose . clutches consist of 4 - 6 white eggs which are quite round in shape . incubation is 12 days . the young hatch with black skin and large yellow gaping mouths and some grey down feathers . during this period the parents consume large quantities of nesting food and mealworms . they are particularly fond of mealworms and this seems to a great asset to parents with young . parent red heads with youngsters can consume 20 + mealworms at a feeding , only to rush to the nest and feed the young . i have found that such live food given freely during this period often insures successful nesting . they young grow quickly and are often ready to fledge at about 12 - 14 days of age . they are sexable right out of the nest . although less bright than their parents , the young fledging males show paler red heads and the females completely lack any red coloration . as they mature the colors and markings become more distinct , and at about 4 - 5 months of age , they usually attain full adult color .
a highly social bird , the house finch is rarely seen alone outside of the breeding season , and may form flocks as large as several hundred birds . house finches feed mainly on the ground or at feeders or fruiting trees . at rest , they commonly perch on the highest point available in a tree , and flocks often perch on power lines . during courtship , males sometimes feed females in a display that begins with the female gently pecking at his bill and fluttering her wings . the male simulates regurgitating food to the female several times before actually feeding her . back to top
both the male and female share in the incubation duties of the rather large and roundish eggs . clutches range from 4 - 8 eggs with 5 or 6 being pretty common . when you see the size of the egg in comparison with the size of the bird , you can see why calcium depletion is of concern with this species . the pair will begin incubation after the second to fourth egg is laid and lasts about 13 - 14 days . the young hatch out and look like they are all mouth . they are black and very fuzzy with large gaping mouths that are lined with yellow - white flanges ( see below ) . they fledge after 3 weeks and require another 2 - 3 weeks until they are independent . the young males can be identified upon fledging by the red coloring on their head . their body lacing is finer than the adults , but males still have different body patterns than hens . some hens may fledge with some red on their heads , but usually not as much as males and can still be distinguished by the breast pattern .
temperament : generally very active birds . usually easy to breed in an aviary . can be bred in a large canary style cage . generally a good breeder in a large planted aviary and does best as one pair of red faced parrot finches per mixed species aviary . suitable for inclusion in a mixed collection . may breed year round but breeding should be discouraged during the winter months . breeders who are trying to produce a specific colour mutation usually bred one pair in a large canary style cage . can be bred as a colony in a large aviary . best breeding results occur in the aviary .
crazy story , my fiance and i had moved our live christmas tree out onto the balcony of our condo in order to lower it over the railing and dispose of it…then someone wanted it for kindling , so we left it there a while longer than we had planned . we noticed a pair of red headed finches ( my favorite wild bird ) were spending a lot of time on our balcony , and realized , yup , they were building a nest . so we let the whole habitat be and enjoyed their activities and comings and goings . then another pair started hanging around , and we had a birdie - condo of our own – the first nest had 3 eggs that hatched and flew away seemingly just fine . the second nest had 5 eggs . and then the hoa got involved and insisted we get rid of the tree or face fines , even once they knew it would put the birdie family in jeopardy…boo . we had to get rid of the tree , but we sawed off the nest portion , knowing it was a risk that it would be abandoned . it has , but we have constructed an incubator and seem upon candling to have 4 - 5 viable eggs…question is…how to proceed from here ? i cannot just let them die by hoa interference…we are committed to raising them even if we go back to the midnight feedings we thought we had left behind years ago…any help and advice would be appreciated . mom was sitting the nest starting thursday night ( 4 nights ago ) and was run off on friday night ( 3 nights ago ) we realized she was not coming back last night and started incubation . candled tonight and see veining and definite embryonic shapes…please help ?
diet these large finches will prefer the large millet found in a standard parakeet mix . they eagerly eat the egg food i prepare ( roy ' s egg food ) once they learn what it is . some of the imports were a little reluctant to eat the egg food at first and even after they did learn to eat it , they were never as enthusiastic as the domestically raised birds . they will all take live food . i offered mealworms and wax worms , but not regularly . also offered to them was green food and soaked japanese millet and white prosso millet . grit and calcium in the form of crushed egg and oyster shells and cuttlebone should be available at all times . calcium and vitamin d3 are essential in any bird ' s diet , but i pay particular attention to the red head ' s diet . while i have not experienced a problem with egg binding with them , they are closely related to cutthroat finches which i did have considerable problems with .
there are two subspecies , but i ' m not certain as to the differences in color or size or if the subspecies even exists in aviculture .
you can find house finches by looking around settled habitats , such as city parks , urban centers , residential backyards , farms , and forest edges . gregarious and social , house finches are found in noisy groups that are hard to miss if present . look for house finches feeding on the ground or at bird feeders , or perching high in nearby trees .
fill your backyard feeders with small , black oil sunflower seed . if house finches discover your feeders , they might bring flocks of 50 or more birds with them . find out more about what this bird likes to eat and what feeder is best by using the project feederwatch common feeder birds bird list .
house finches were introduced to oahu from san francisco sometime before 1870 . they had become abundant on all the major hawaiian islands by 1901 .
house finches feed their nestlings exclusively plant foods , a fairly rare occurrence in the bird world . many birds that are vegetarians as adults still find animal foods to keep their fast - growing young supplied with protein .

members of this diverse group make up more than half of the bird species worldwide . most are small . however their brains are relatively large and their learning abilities are greater than those of most other birds . passerine birds are divided into two suborders , the suboscines and the oscines . oscines are capable of more complex song , and are considered the true songbirds . in washington , the tyrant flycatchers are the only suboscines ; the remaining 27 families are oscines .
house finches are native to open and desert habitats , but have expanded their range , naturally and through introductions , and now can be found in almost any kind of human - altered habitat . they prefer edge habitat and are absent from dense coniferous forests .
flocks of house finches are common at bird feeders during the non - breeding season . some flocks may stay together through the breeding season as well , and birds will use bird feeders year round . they often forage on the ground , but also perch on weeds , shrubs , or trees . both males and females may sing during the breeding season , and males sing year round .
house finches are monogamous , and pairs tend to form while the birds are in their winter flocks . some pairs may stay together year round . they choose a wide variety of nesting sites , and will nest in man - made objects such as window ledges and holes in buildings . ivy growing on buildings or trees creates many nesting sites . nests may also be located in conifer trees , hanging planters , and old nests of other birds . the first requirement is a solid base with some overhanging material . the female builds most of the nest , which is an open cup of grass , weeds , twigs , leaves , and rootlets , lined with feathers and other fine material . the female incubates 4 to 5 eggs for 13 to 14 days while the male brings her food . the female broods the young for the first few days after they hatch , and the male continues to bring food . the female then joins the male in bringing food to the young . the young leave the nest after 12 to 15 days and may be fed by the male for about two more weeks , while the female starts a second clutch . pairs may raise three or more broods each season .
house finches are common year round in human - altered areas throughout washington . they are typically absent from montane forests and open , non - agricultural range . their distribution is strongly correlated with the presence of bird feeders .

justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but the species is described as common ( clement 1999 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

( a question mark next to a word above means that we couldn ' t find it , but clicking the word might provide spelling suggestions . )
you might try using the wildcards * and ? to find the word you ' re looking for . for example , use
, ulong , ngeanges and kayangel ( ngcheangel ) atoll in 2003 ( rundell 2005 , 2010 ) . given that the total area of these four islands is approximately 12 km 2 , this is inferred as its area of occupancy .
based on the appearance of this diminutive snail on emergent vegetation in the areas in which it was found , combined with its presence on an atoll ( perhaps indicative of dispersal potential ) , it is possible that this species may be more widespread in the archipelago than available data currently reflect .
this species was found in native forest on four islands in palau in 2003 . considering the narrow distribution ( an area of occupancy of approximately 12 km 2 ) , the restricted number of known locations ( four ) , and the continuing decline of the quality of its habitat , this species is listed as endangered .
forest habitat . the localities where this species occurs are low elevation areas near permanent human habitation and are susceptible to land development .
the species is also impacted by invasive species . rats ( rattus norvegicus ( norway rat ) , rattus rattus ( ship rat ) , and rattus exulans ( polynesian rat ) ) can be introduced and repeatedly re - introduced ( by boat ) by humans , but can also cross water independently .
field work to define the current distribution of this species as well as research on its population status and trends , identification and protection of priority sites for species conservation such as key biodiversity areas ( including threatened land snails ) as well as reducing the impacts of human activities , especially on the small islands of the archipelago , is urgently needed . the palau conservation society has been supportive of recent land snail survey work in palau .
