This week's topic is -FREE THEME How about fluffy bullfinches?


Common Bullfinch
These adorable little plump creatures become noticeable in late autumn or early winter, when they begin to migrate from their usual habitats (coniferous forests) closer to cities in search of food. They are literally the personification of winter, they are very popular to be depicted on winter postcards, advertisements, etc. related to winter. As you might guess, males are a bright red color, while females are a washed-out brown, like chocolate ice cream.


Grey Bullfinch
These birds are rarely seen in the forests around my city; they fly in from distant mountain forests. I've noticed that they are noticeably less wary of people, and this is probably due to their primary habitat, where there are no people. Males are grey, but females are easily confused with female common bullfinches. They look identical, but upon closer inspection, you'll notice that the female grey bullfinch's underparts are a solid color.

Uragus or Siberian long-tailed bullfinch
This bird is not genetically related to bullfinches, and is not related to them. However, people habitually call them long-tailed bullfinches, apparently due to their outdated name. It is now called the long-tailed rosefinch. However, in appearance, it more closely resembles a bullfinch with a long tail.
