#HouseFinch

A male house finch stood on a snowbank, shook its feathers, and said, "Not cold, not cold, my red feathers come with built-in heating!" #housefinch #birds

This House Finch shows up almost every day. Not sure if she is trying to get inside or if she is trying to get me to join her outside. #angrybirds #housefinch

I topped up this feeder and within minutes a pair of house finches showed up. This is why consistency matters. Birds learn your yard. They watch. They remember. When you keep feeders clean and stocked with quality seed, they respond fast. Fresh food. Simple setup. Real results. #birdfeeding #housefinch #backyardbirds #wildbirdsunlimited #birdwatching #finches #kamloops

On occasion we get a finch couple visiting our yard. Here’s a closeup of the male as he looks around our yard. Shortly after the female arrives to keep him company. . If you stick around until the end of the video you’ll see the male finch rub his beak on the wood beam. . I’ve seen other birds and even squirrels do this. Do you know why? . #housefinch #finchesofinstagram #toronto #finches #birding #birder #torontoartist #torontoartists #canadianartist #birdphotography #birdlovers #sharecangeo #yourshotphotographer

🔥Remember the story of the house finch that sought refuge in a chimney only to find himself fighting for his life? He first fell into the fire, managed to flap his way out, but then was attacked by the resident cat! 🐦After weeks in our care recovering and regrowing some feathers, he was finally ready to be released last week! The heartwarming moment he returned to his natural habitat was captured to share with you. 💚Thanks to our dedicated and generous supporters, happy endings like these are made possible. #GreenwoodWildlife #HouseFinch #CapYourChimney #WildlifeRehab

POV: When the world gets crazy, you find the quietest spot and just watch them go about their day. #birdfymom #birdwatching #housefinch #beautiful #birds

Blue Jays are becoming much more common @bluejaywanderer New Jersey station. I’ve been crediting their high numbers in my area to the 17-year cicadas we had here in 2021. While some don’t like Blue Jays, I love their moxy and wide variety of vocalizations. Are you seeing more Jays in your area? This species is very social, usually forming groups during migration and the breeding season—the male and female work cooperatively to build their nest. The female will then take the responsibility of laying on the eggs. The male will provide food for her, then the chicks. Eventually, they’ll leave together as a family unit from the nest. In the fall, they’ll join other groups, possibly migrating. Jays have migrations that aren’t entirely understood. Sometimes they’ll migrate, and other years they won’t. All birds are handled with proper permits and training. Never handle wild birds without them. For more information about research, handling, and why we don’t show how we catch birds refer to my first pinned post. - - Credit 📸:@gourmetbiologist ✅ Credit goes to the respective owner 🚫 No copyright infringement intended 📩 DM for Delete/Credit/anything . . #bluejays #jaybird #bluebirds #letsgobluejays #birdblue #bluecrownedbird #birdboxpossexjay #jaycohummingbird #jayebird #bluefootedboobybird #bluebluebird #blueheronbird #bluevalleysongbird #blueladybird #whistler #birding #birdlovers #birdstagram #snowbird #housefinch

What’s the difference between a Pine Siskin and a House Finch? Not much. But there is a difference! Let me explain. Do you recognize any of the mystery birds at the end of the video?

Male house finches are known for their eye-catching red feathers. That red color actually comes from pigments in the food they eat while molting. Females prefer the reddest males because it signals good health and strong foraging skills. These traits make them better breeding partners.

Another house finch cleared of conjunctivitis and eager to be released! His before photo may look mild but he required two rounds of medication to clear the infection. House finches conjunctivitis is an infection that finch like birds acquire that is caused by a bacterium called Mycoplasma gallisepticum. The disease usually infects one eye first and then spreads to both causing blindness and starvation from an inability to see. The infection is spread by the birds wiping their faces on branches and bird feeders and then other birds coming in contact with the exudate. Birds that exhibit lethargy, fluffed out appearance or swollen face or eyes should be captured. Please place them in a small shoebox and call us. OWL can treat this disease and it has a recovery rate of 98% with treatment. To Prevent the Spread of the Disease Clean feeders and bird baths on a regular basis with a 10 percent bleach solution. Avoid using moldy seed, and keep the ground area around the feeder as clean as possible. During the summer, rake the area to remove accumulated seeds beneath the feeder. During the winter, shovel fresh snow over the area. Use nonporous plastic, metal, or glass feeders that are easy to clean, and provide ample feeder space to reduce crowding. Keep platform feeders clean and put out only the amount of seed that birds can consume within a day or two. Finally, don’t wait until sick birds are present to implement these precautions – routine cleaning is preventative. We would like to celebrate this bird’s return to the wild and take this opportunity to remind you to take down your feeders and give them a thorough cleaning once a week - especially important now that migration has begun, so they can remain healthy and set up for success on their journey south. #OperationWildlife #wildliferelease #kansaswildlife #housefinch #nativespecies #backyardbirds #songbird #psa
