=How many different kinds of finches are there?= The finch, an American bird is cool!! There are seven different kinds of finches. Finches are very beautiful birds that can be many different colors like:black,brown,gray,orange,red green,yellow,and so on. Gold Finches are truly colorful!



=Why do gold finches change colors in Fall and Spring?= Finches grow extra feathers to keep themselves warm in Winter and Fall, but they fall off in Spring and Summer. In my opinion, they are more beautiful in the Fall and Winter

=What do finch eggs look like?= Have you ever seen a burnt hard-boiled egg? If not, read on to find out what they look like. Finch eggs are a pale white with small brown spots. The mother can lay 2-7 eggs, not a lot. It takes about 12-14 days to hatch, so be patient!

=Are Finches neighborhood birds?= I know that finches are very rare birds. They don't live in many places. Some live in neighborhoods. I think I have seen a finch nest in my neighborhood.
