Papaya Bird or Linnet - Juan Pina

Juan Pina

The house finch is common on all main Hawaiian Islands. It can be found in coastal regions as well as high up in the mountains. It is most common in urban areas. In Hawaii, the house finch is also known as papayabird or linnet. House finches feed on seeds, insects and soft fruits. Breeding season is from February to August. Nests are built in trees in which between three and five greenish-blue eggs are laid. Both adult males and females have brown streaks. Adult males have a red or orange-yellow forehead. During courtship, the male will touch bills with the female. He may then present the female with choice bits of food, and if she mimics the behavior of a hungry chick, he may actually feed her. The male also feeds the female during breeding and incubation of the eggs, and raising of the young, and the male is the primary feeder of the fledgelings (who can be differentiated from the females by the pin feathers remaining on their heads)
