Darwin's Finches

Made famous by Charles Darwin’s groundbreaking book, On The Origin of Species, the group of birds dubbed “Darwin’s Finches” is a group of small, grayish birds that are almost entirely endemic to the Galapagos Islands. You have probably heard of the book, or maybe even the birds themselves, but I’ll bet you don't know about the Common Cactus Finch, or what about the Vegetarian Finch? Well, that’s what I’m here for. In this episode we will take a deep dive into these very interesting birds, learning all about their habits, looks, sounds, and more.
