What is the purple Finch?

Purple Finch, or Carpodacus purpureus, is a number of small birds in the Fringillidae family, which is characterized by a large, powerful beak of seeds; short, notch tail; and red-pink color. Eastern varieties of purple Finch often look and sound somewhat different from the Pacific coasts. Although this kind of song has some similarity to Finches, more consistent, but the finer red coverage is the key to identifying male species. Female and immature purple finches do not show reddish colors, but have white brands on the face. This kind of song tends to be approximately the size of the sparrow, in the range of 5.25-6.25 inches (13,335-15,875 cm) .E USA. These birds last up to eight days before they build their nests, which are often placed under a hiding branch. The nests are sometimes placed up to 60 feet (18.3 m) above the ground level. This species can also sometimes integrate pieces of other bird sounds into their vocalization. Purple Finches have been recorded by lending birds from Goldfinches to Barnswallows.

Purple Finches will eat seeds from many fruits during warmer months, except for various types of seeds from stems or plants in winter fields. These little birds often fodder for food with a high tree content, which makes it difficult to identify. Their preferred treatment in the backyard in the winter months seems to be black sunflower seeds and some sources suggest that purple foaming seeds than stronger types. It is said that the presence of coniferous trees in the backyard can encourage visits from purple Finches. Due to the inconsistent Purple Finch range in winter, one winter may appear in a particular backyard, but to visit two years or more again.

Purple Finch has been a state bird of New Hampshire since 1957. He has been selected over another candidate, the new Hampshire Hen. Purple Finches has been illustrated and described on the length of John James Audubon in the third volume of his encyclopedic work called birds of America . Records suggest that some individual Purple Finch specimens have lived for more than 11 years.
