About These Birds
Black-crested Finch
The Black-crested Finch is a small, elegant finch of open dry habitats in central South America, with males bearing a striking pointed black crest, white face, and grey and black patterned plumage. It inhabits the dry chaco scrublands, thorn scrub, and open woodland of Paraguay, Bolivia, and northwestern Argentina. It feeds on seeds and small insects, often foraging on the ground.
