Physical Traits: A husky finch, the male gives an overall
raspberry red impression. Purple Finches are often confused with
the House Finch who has more streaking, a different color of
red, and a different face pattern. Habitat: The Purple Finch
prefers a conifer forest, but can be found in suburban areas,
orchards and deciduous forests. Cup shaped nests are made of
grass, bark and twigs and placed on a high branch. Recommended
Feeder: Lyric Finch Feeder Feeder Tips: Hang a Lyric Finch
Feeder from a branch. The small openings and short perches make
an ideal feeding environment for the Purple Finch. Even on windy
days, finches will delightfully feed on a swaying feeder. Pole
mounted tubes, window tubes and selective tubes will also work
in many settings. States and Regions Found: Purple Finches are
in southern Canada and eastern and western United States.
