House Finch - Learn A Bird - Episode #26

In the premier "Learn a Bird" of 2021, expert Bird Talker Dan Gardoqui hangs out and chats with a pair of House Finches.

A common bird across North America - city, suburbs and rural areas - these little finches are often chatty and bold - meaning YOU probably hear and see them regularly. Watch & Learn...

Does anyone else admire his gift of mimicry

I'm always amazed to see how well he can do the bird calls 😄

How do you chirp like that? You sound just like them! You are amazing.

I often get house finches at my birdfeeders. I saw a more yellow colored male house finch the other day?! Great video, Dan!

I did not know that a group of house finches was called a development. That’s pretty funny! Where I live should call them Apartment Finches, because they loved to hang out on our 2nd story San Francisco fire escape of our apartment. That warble song the male makes is the sound of summer to me. I get instantly transported back to the backyard of my parents house when I hear it.

Just found your channel and love ❤️! I have a gang of house finches that come to my fire escape feeder (nyc). Your enthusiasm is palpable.

I just discovered your channel via this video. These are great & so informative! I also just put a bird feeder right outside my office window which is what spurred me to lookup house finches, I definitely just saw two of them scoping out a place for a nest in our carport earlier today. Keep up the great work!

Iam feeding them on my balcony they come in pairs but in a flock and they fight between the pairs... they start with nice songs but end up bickering:;).. Btw you are so gifted with your ability to mimc them !

Well naturally, a group of houses is a housing development.🤣

I've noticed that the names of a large group of the same bird have a logical name. House finch, housing development. Crows, murder of crows. That last bit of info is very informative.

Do u think you can do a tutorial on how to do the house sparrow call, that would really help. If not that's ok! 😁

[seboutdoors]

Really liking this series. Keep it up! Quick question, when you mimic the finch call, are you blowing out with the front teeth?

[BumbleBee-Bread]

Because you developed a neighborhood of houses, so a group of house finches is a development

Great video but are you trying to mate with one of these birds or what? ;)

[tesskaiser]

I'm wondering how a human being can do that. 🤯
