Male Female
House Finch
Voice – A chirp call like that of a young House Sparrow. The song is an extensive series of warbling notes ending in a zeee, canary-like but without the musical trills and rolls. Sings from a high tree, antenna, or similar post for prolonged periods. Call a chirp.
Nesting - 3-5 bluish, lightly streaked or spotted eggs, with each pair breeding 2-4 times a summer; tightly woven, compact nest set anywhere from a bush to a building.
Food- House Finches are omnivorous, gleaning insect pests and, in winter, grass and weed seeds. Garden-bred birds join large field flocks during the fall, often feeding in farmers’ fields, and may become agricultural pests.
