The Bullfinch: Close Up HD Footage (Pyrrhula pyrrhula)

Originally from Europe, the stout Bullfinch has a pinkish-red breast and grey wings. The males sport a smart black cap while the females have a dull grey cap. Their diet consists mainly of buds, berries and seeds which they pick from trees and bushes. Bullfinches make their nests from twigs, moss and lichens, hidden away in thick bushes or hedges. The female lays around 4-6 pale blue eggs which incubate for a couple of weeks before hatching. Both mum and dad take turns feeding the chicks a mix of insects and regurgitated plants. These birds are non-migratory, sticking to the same local territory all year. Their pretty tinkling call is a recognisable sound in parks and gardens across Britain.
