Finch (bird)

A finch is a small to medium-sized bird belonging to the family Fringillidae, known for its conical beak adapted for seed-eating. They typically have stout bodies, short wings, and often colorful plumage. Finches are found worldwide, especially in North and South America, Europe, and Africa. They are social, often gathering in flocks, and their varied songs play an important role in communication and attracting mates. Many species are popular in birdwatching and have adapted well to human environments, sometimes impacting local ecosystems or agricultural crops.
