Bird 3


As my family and I were outside for our weekly picnic, a house finch swooped down and landed by my porch. It was small- bodied with a large beak and a flat head. The tail of it was long compared to its body. Its face was red with a streaky brown back, belly and tail. They eat weeds such as nettle and dandelion. Their babies are called chicks, and they grow to be about the same size as a blue jay. I could not find any animal that eats this bird. I imagine it would be bigger birds such as a hawk.
