About These Birds

African Chaffinch

The African Chaffinch weighs about 23g and is found in North Africa and the Canary Islands. It inhabits woodland and scrub, foraging for seeds and insects on the ground and in trees.

Arabian Grosbeak

The Arabian Grosbeak is a near-threatened finch from the mountains of Oman and Yemen, weighing about 30 grams with a wingspan near 18 cm. Its heavy bill is adapted for cracking hard seeds and fruit stones in montane forest and dense scrub habitats. The restricted range of this stocky finch makes it vulnerable to habitat disturbance.
