The House Finch is a small, streaked finch with a rounded head and a short conical bill. Adult males usually show red on the head and breast, while females are brown and heavily streaked. It eats mainly seeds, buds and fruit and readily visits feeders. Native to western North America, the species was introduced in the East and then spread across the continent. Male colour varies with pigments obtained from food.
