The 25 MOST Common Birds in Canada! (2022)
#6. House Finch
Identifying Characteristics:
Adult males are rosy red around their heads and upper breasts. They have brown streaks on their back, tail, and belly.
Females are brown with streaks on their back, tail, and belly.
Both sexes have conical beaks designed to eat seeds and notched tails.
It’s common to see these birds in Canada near people. Look for House Finches around buildings, backyards, parks, and other urban and suburban areas.
House Finches are often the first birds to discover new bird feeders. These birds are intensely curious and rarely travel alone, so their arrival often helps other birds find your feeders too! I see them eating sunflower seed, Nyjer seed, and safflower the most in my backyard.
