poetry lyrics:/ Your Atlantic-coast backyard seed feeder:/ For visits, this bird
is the leader./ On its perches, in bunches,/ This perky guy munches -- /
The house finch, a furious breeder. this verse has been approved at OEDILF, #131387

Authors' Note: The gregarious house finch, Haemorhous mexicanus, originally an inhabitant of the western US and Mexico, was introduced into Long Island, New York, in 1940. Although the female is not showy, the male is distinguished by the rosy red coloration of its face, neck and upper breast areas. The species quickly spread across the eastern US and southern parts of Canada. A strict vegetarian, this bird is now the most common visitor to feeders in many parts of its current range.
