Okay so it’s 5am and I’ve been up playing games and I start hearing this beautiful chirping coming from outside my window. I open it and looked at the little guy and googled his description and it was one of these , so I start copying his whistle back to him. I stopped after a bit and he proceeded to go into an insane soliloquy, switching his song up and doing all kinds of crazy calls it was incredible. He wasn’t doing it until I started whistling with him so I wonder what kind of interaction it was , was he mad? Did he think I was a mate? It was really impressive either way
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about wooden bird houses plans try Panlarko Expert Aviary Planner (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.
These little guys come to my feeder everyday all day and they give me so much joy and happiness knowing that I can provide a small source of nutrients for their little bodies.
I have been wondering who sings like this everyday, and now I know! These little guys have been filling my life with song all through this time of "social distancing." So happy to have them!
I had one in a tree next door outside my workshop. It sounded like he was preaching a sermon, with a question, then another question, then a long statement. He was at it all day. Thanks for the ID.
I'm a novice birdwatcher with a pretty good knowledge of birds, and like many who posted here, had no idea what this noisy little bird was! The menagerie of songs it sings, *at the top of its lungs,* is amazing! They start my day off in such a pleasant way, and this video *perfectly* captures it! Thanks!
Southern California. We have house finches all over our neighborhood. Their song sounds very conversational to me, melodic rambling with a bit of a stammer. My favorite part of their talk is a drawn "Tweee-tweeew" at the end of a long, rapid sentence. They almost twirl the "tweeew" at the end. It is so distinct and they don't say it often. I wonder if it's a regional thing. It's satisfying on the ear. Sometimes I listen to their song just to catch those notes.
Used to live in southern cali as well, but when I moved to the east coast the house finches have a completely different accent. Glad someone else has the same experience, I thought I was completely crazy or hearing a totally different finch!
this is my favorite bird call I hear every summer in my area of Michigan and I never used to know what bird it was. It's these cuties, and they arent actually native here but have been here for hundreds of years and I'm glad they are. The call always reminds me of summer and good feelings.
Just watched one in front of my neighbor’s house, literally less than five meters away. It knew I was watching, as I stood up as it began, and just continued singing its heart out. Though common, I admit that songbirds still give me pause.
Oh my gosh yes for the past month I have had this pretty bird landing on my wreath on my front door singing the most beautiful song...I FINALLY know what kind of bird this is makes my day .I feel honored..😊❤ LOVE ALL my birds
A tree in my back yard in Wheat Ridge Colorado was a condo for them. Several of them had nests in the same small tree. They sang this song every evening. Beautiful.
These lovely little birds are abundant throughout Vancouver where I live and very few people here seem to know they exist. They begin to sing more frequently in early January, already announcing spring, like a triumphant anthem against the dark of winter and a vision of the coming light of spring.
For the last few years we have had nests in out hanging fern on out deck. Same family of parents come back in the spring & have 3 of four chicks. There are 3 right now in the newest nest. They don't even flinch when i get a new picture almost daily. These birds look like they pray when they bow their head. So adorable!
For three wonderful years I was awakened every morning by numerous finch families. In central California they stay where they nest. They also sing while they fly, up and down, flipping around, just singing for joy! I had to move, and I miss them so much. Thank you for posting :)
This bird's song just fills me with nostalgia. These were always the birds that would wake me up when the weather was getting warmer and summer break was on its way or here. To me, this sounds like, "time to get up and play in the sun in the backyard!"
Sacha LaPointe I have 3 house finches as pets, they are currently fledglings which I rescued and they’ll have a big aviary soon. (They were found on my large acres of property)
These birds are the most sexiest birds. And God says the sparrow does not even clothe himself or spin yard to clothe himself. He just sings. Just amazing at God's creation. I have these wee ones around my home in Los Angeles, Ca, and they are a playful lot. I also love the bushtits. They are sweet but the name is not so positive.
a group of these guys would make my morning sometimes when i was working at a hospital. If you listen a lot of times they sound like they are asking a question
Yes, the Southern California ones outside my window almost always end with a rising inflection, like "...Right?" And somebody else always answers them.
I just rescued a fledgling last week. He couldn't see because he had really bad discharge from both of his eyes. Looked all over the internet and finally found out that he has basically pink eye, which I guess is really common. Got him some antibiotics after the fourth day because he was going down hill fast. Now after two days on the meds he woke me up for the first time signing. He already has his flight feathers and his adult plumage is coming in nicely. I figure by the end of next week he should be able to go back to the wild. But I'll leave the cage open so he can come and go as he pleases, and provide extra food on the patio to give him a head start. I'm gonna miss Hawk-eye when he goes.
I love these birds. Where I'm from ( Nova Scotia, Canada) we commonly see the yellow finch,cardinals and blue Jays than these ones. Hope hawk eyes doing good
several of these lil dudes hang out in my backyard and i usually like to sit outside - today was the first time i ever played this and a couple got pretty close to say hello
I heard some of these birds while I was walking to work through downtown every morning. They had a colony on the back side of the parking garage, near a small bit of wild brush land along the railroad track. Most birds speak a simple tweet or a repeated phrase to keep in contact with their mates, sort of like "Marco - Polo," all day long. There is something awesome about the way these little ones sound like they are saying an excited sentence in bird speak. They talk so energetically and happily, never daunted by the weather. Their sound is more magical than anything you can buy in the stores, and it would set me up for my work day with a smile. I would stop and listen to them, with the bright morning sun glinting on the dewy bushes. In March I saw them flying up to the trellises with bits of twig and grass to build nests. That was awesome.
I've had a pair return to my front porch to have babies every year four the 4th year now. They're here now with 4 babies who will most likely fly off tomorrow. They've already begun a second nest opposite the 1st on the porch. They did the same thing last year! I'm so happy cause I wasn't ready for them to leave. They're my favorites. So cheerful and passive.
astrid vvv same here for quite a few years now. I always make sure and leave the porch light off and will use the garage door instead of the front door so as not to bother them. It warms my heart every year when they return.
@@Larkitect_ I leave the porch light off, too! As an update, this same pair of House Finches from my original comment are now raising their THIRD batch of babies this season, all on my front porch. I saw their tiny little heads pop up from the nest for the first time yesterday. They are so precious. And I do the exact same thing regarding the porch light. I don't think it's been on one time since March. This is the 4th batch of babies to be raised on my porch this season! I had a pair of Barn Swallows in between the Finches who successfully raised their 6 babies. I'm so grateful for it all.
I just put 2 bird feeders out about 2 week. I was hoping of getting some birds. These little guys started showing up. Here everyday. I hang out on my back patio every morning and see them. I also got doves, blue Jays and a duck. I have alot of squirrels that I feed also. Been a blessing to go outside and see all this. Just started to do this with the stay home going on. My location is, Houston, Tx. I did put hummingbirds feeders out hoping to see some. But still nothing m.
Last year one lone red finch showed up about a month before any other birds. He was singing so urgently i think for a mate that I whistled back some of the song. I was standing outside my door where there was a large light lamp mounted on the house. He flew into it inches from me. He couldn't get out and my son came over after about an hour of the finch trying to free himself. He got the finch free, i call him after my son, Mr ....Finch. He stayed on my lamps,for weeks and one day I saw him on the fence with his lady and they were carrying grasses away to build a nest. I loved his song and tenacity. This year again ahead of all other birds I hear his singing. Hope it is him! I whistled back once and he perched on my fence. I told him no more singing with him !
@@truderenken3248 I love the birds esp the finches. They are the main ones out where I live except for robins. Do you know if they return to the same,area to nest?
The red house finches which have nested outside of my home became quiet when I started playing this with the windows open! I really wanted to find out what birds were making this call, and although this isn't exactly the same, it is very much alike. Thank you for the excellent sound quality.
A " society finch"... that's a perfect term. I live in the hills near Lake Elsinore. I feed and supply fresh water every day for them. (which means I feed the squirrels, rabbits, doves, and even a very friendly gopher). But it's always been a sweet little female finch that comes and sits with me every single day. I always called her the "shot caller". I know her voice from all the others. Any time there's a finch argument... she steps in and settles it. I live on 4 acres loaded with willow trees. I hear them but often never see them. Except for my little female friend. She shows up every day.
My Lady Gouldin Finch lost his mate of 5 years and is grieving. I found this video and I'm hoping it will help him get through his sadness. It's been 24 hrs and he hasn't eaten. 😢
Apparently, each region of this bird has their own unique song. In Topeka Kansas, the house finches here have a fast, gradual increase of inflection of their singing.
They’re my favorite lil singers so I’m super jealous...3 years later!!! 😂😂 I couldn’t help myself! Had any come back to that same spot over the years? Idk much about them & if they even do that but figured I’d ask.
I’ve put up a feeder on my fire escape in the Bronx, New York this spring. And wow all the beautiful birds that come especially the. House finch, sparrows, red Cardinals blue jays , red winged black birds, crackles, wow just love them all. My super asked me to take down my feeder because of fire. Regulations but no way I’m leaving it up it won’t be in anyone’s way incase there’s an emergency. I won’t give up my feather friends.
The one right outside my window likes to sing at 4 in the morning and it always has a very shrill last note that sounds like "EEEEE!". Still not able to appreciate it...
The best finch song that I've heard recorded - clean - clear and loud - I play it on my patio and have to let the finches that fly into my sunroom out the doors!! Impressive
I remember these in Pennsylvania where I grew up. That's when I decided they were my favorite songbird. Now I live in Arizona and have learned they were originally from the Southwest, but now are practically all over the country. The songs out here are the same as the songs I remember in PA.
I remember that the Purple Finches had a similar yet different song. But I can't remember the Purple Finch song, as it's been over a decade and I only hear the House Finch song out here - there are no Purples. The House Finches always brings back memories when I hear them so they must be similar enough. All of the House Finch videos I watch here have the same type of song no matter the location, so I'm not sure how much of a difference you're talking about. I guess it depends how fine-tuned your ear is. All I care about is how beautifully it sings, and the memories it brings with it.
***** Yes, I am a birdwatcher, so I notice the smallest differences in bird songs. This one compared to my house finches is vastly different, and it seems that every finch video on TH-cam shows a different song. They vary regionally, and I suspect greatly, as I have not found any recording online that sounds like the ones I hear. I’ve noticed differences in house finch songs even 3 hours away in New Jersey. It sounds like you lived farther north than I do, as purple finches are scarce here and declining. Houses were indeed only western birds, but were introduced on Long Island in the 1940s. They were still in a small area in the northeast in the eighties, and then exploded across the continent. I suspect that they couldn’t make it over the Great Plains without human settlement there, and introduction in the east aided them. I agree, certain bird songs sound like home. I just wish there was a recording of a PA house finch! I could make my own, but it isn’t their singing season.
I am a birdwatcher too, but I don't notice any major differences in the House Finch videos other than minutia, which I just chalk up to individual or geographical differences. Some people, like you I assume, are more attuned to differences in song, and probably have a more discerning musical ear as well. I am not into music that much, so that's probably why I don't notice the differences. But I can tell the differences of other bird songs, one example being the White Crowned Sparrow. The songs they sing out here in fall and spring are vastly different from the songs I hear on birding websites. Even the Starlings out here "sing" differently than the ones back east... of course, their calls are the same. But birds like the Red Winged Blackbird, Cardinal and House Finch sound the same to me here as they did back in PA. Regardless, the House Finch is still my favorite native songbirds. Whenever I hear their song, even if I'm feeling down, I have to smile. They just sound so happy.
Best part of this video is the lack of commercials... the worst thing is to be enjoying these little guys and a frickin commercial pops on. Some people have to monetize and that is counterintuitive to nature. Thank you for not doing that.
I found a baby bird or more my cat did. It was late at night so I couldn’t bring it anywhere. It flat out refused to eat and just slept the entire time I joked with my Dad that we should play bird noises but then I played this and it’s head instantly shot up and it started begging for food
I'm playing this in front of my cat and she's going nuts looking all over the place, mostly up, trying to figure out where the bird is. 10/10 would recommend for cat entertainment
A little female makes her nest on our porch every year in one of my moms hanging baskets. At first she will hesitate to come around if we're sitting outside. She will land and make this kind of "what?" sound. It's hilarious. After a bit she gets used to us and sits peacefully in the nest with us nearby.
A couple just decided to build a nest right over my front door. Albeit wild, they've slowly grown used to me. The father even fed the chick's in front of me just now. They don't exactly get up close to me but definitely closer than the average wild bird. As long as I'm sitting they seem more comfortable with me. Being that this was the first time I ever played this video out loud outside, not shortly after was when the male fed the chick's. So I think it helped me bond further with my new feral friends.
I'm rehabbing an injured house finch with a badly broken wing. He may end up more as a toad than a bird, hops everywhere. He loves this site, gets him singing.
wish I could have bird feeders on my balcony - it’s not allowed (even in our lease 😢) would so love to repay this handsome fella for all the beautiful songs he’s serenaded me with over the years - since my balcony is primarily concrete it acts as an amp making Mr Finch’s song HUGE - best birthday present ever - he just sat where I could see him and sang out 😁🤗 when he was done he tilted his head as if looking back at me and flew off - what else could a girl want 😁😉🤔
I have a couple that visits my window bird feeder a lot..They used to sing like that, like asking for permission to eat..Not anymore at all..They just got friendly and dont ask..just go eat..While looking at me...heyyyyyyyyy!!! where is my song? heyyy!!
3 of these house finches landed on the telephone lines in my back yard, in the morning, making these sounds. Because of Google, and uploaders like Cece Ovvarc, it didn't take long to find out what kind of birds they were.
I'm in Toms River NJ and put out a large variety of seeds, nuts and fruits daily. This is the first year that these birds have been showing up to feed. At least 5 come by together. I also have Cardinals, Robins, Black Capped Chickadees, Mockingbirds, Crows, Cow Birds, Sparrows,Wrens, Mourning Doves and Goldfinch, Hummingbirds and for a few years now a pair of Mallards visit for a short time and take showers in my sprinklers.. Each year I have planted different bushes and small trees and It seems each spring new species show up and their songs are awesome.
@James Merryman Wow ! Thank you for the great info. I believe the birds in my backs up to the woods apartment appreciate the company. More seem to be congregating...without artificial feeding.
Just found this bird singing in my back yard every day . They make my day and bring happiness to my life.
Lucy Yu, me too!!! :D *HuuuugS*
Okay so it’s 5am and I’ve been up playing games and I start hearing this beautiful chirping coming from outside my window. I open it and looked at the little guy and googled his description and it was one of these , so I start copying his whistle back to him.

He wasn’t doing it until I started whistling with him so I wonder what kind of interaction it was , was he mad? Did he think I was a mate? It was really impressive either way

they keep making a nest in my porch awning so i get them at max volume when they sing right above the door.
I had one in a tree next door outside my workshop. It sounded like he was preaching a sermon, with a question, then another question, then a long statement. He was at it all day. Thanks for the ID.
They sing so loudly and hearty!
Right!

I've heard it a lot of times, but it's a magic version that can't be missed. Anyone who listens please give me a thumbs up
Love it…!!
We have a huge family of them that visit our feeders in the mornings, it's my favorite thing to listen to while I make breakfast!
We hear this bird every morning and we try to answer it is such a pleasant song thank you for sharing

Thank you for posting this. I play it while gardening and the little red Finches come flying in my backyard! I live near Phoenix, AZ 🌞
I have one of these that visits my porch every day, today I came out and played this video and he came right over! :)
Some bird calls become annoying.
This one? No. It's so pleasant. It means its a nice day out.
My wife and l live in northeast ga. Mountains. We have lots of them. I sit on my front porch real early and watch them at the bird feeder
These guys wake me up every morning.
Exceptional recording, thank you!! I love my house finches, miss them today so I found your recording. Hoping it will call them over! Many thanks.

Gold Finch birds having fun
These little guys sing to me every day at my Arizona home ♥ Thanks for posting!
I’ve put up a feeder on my fire escape in the Bronx, New York this spring. And wow all the beautiful birds that come especially the. House finch, sparrows, red Cardinals
blue jays , red winged black birds, crackles, wow just love them all. My super asked me to take down my feeder because of fire. Regulations but no way I’m leaving it up it won’t be in anyone’s way incase there’s an emergency. I won’t give up my feather friends.
Our cats have listened to this at least 50x! 👍🐱🐯🦁
The one right outside my window likes to sing at 4 in the morning and it always has a very shrill last note that sounds like "EEEEE!". Still not able to appreciate it...
The best finch song that I've heard recorded - clean - clear and loud - I play it on my patio and have to let the finches that fly into my sunroom out the doors!! Impressive
Thanks for whoever posted this because it's so lovely to know that my bird that I rescued is entertained
These little males just sing their hearts out!
Tht looks like the bird 🐦 who visits me oh so sweet xoxo.
I had a male and female sit on my 11th floor balcony railing sing me awake this morning - beautiful
I love the song that one of them sings for me every evening.🌹
Omg i played this outside and the same bird called back!! Back and fourth!
I remember these in Pennsylvania where I grew up. That's when I decided they were my favorite songbird. Now I live in Arizona and have learned they were originally from the Southwest, but now are practically all over the country. The songs out here are the same as the songs I remember in PA.
I live in PA and hear a major difference between this recording and the house finches at my feeders.
I remember that the Purple Finches had a similar yet different song. But I can't remember the Purple Finch song, as it's been over a decade and I only hear the House Finch song out here - there are no Purples. The House Finches always brings back memories when I hear them so they must be similar enough. All of the House Finch videos I watch here have the same type of song no matter the location, so I'm not sure how much of a difference you're talking about. I guess it depends how fine-tuned your ear is. All I care about is how beautifully it sings, and the memories it brings with it.
***** Yes, I am a birdwatcher, so I notice the smallest differences in bird songs. This one compared to my house finches is vastly different, and it seems that every finch video on TH-cam shows a different song. They vary regionally, and I suspect greatly, as I have not found any recording online that sounds like the ones I hear. I’ve noticed differences in house finch songs even 3 hours away in New Jersey. It sounds like you lived farther north than I do, as purple finches are scarce here and declining. Houses were indeed only western birds, but were introduced on Long Island in the 1940s. They were still in a small area in the northeast in the eighties, and then exploded across the continent. I suspect that they couldn’t make it over the Great Plains without human settlement there, and introduction in the east aided them. I agree, certain bird songs sound like home. I just wish there was a recording of a PA house finch! I could make my own, but it isn’t their singing season.
I am a birdwatcher too, but I don't notice any major differences in the House Finch videos other than minutia, which I just chalk up to individual or geographical differences. Some people, like you I assume, are more attuned to differences in song, and probably have a more discerning musical ear as well. I am not into music that much, so that's probably why I don't notice the differences. But I can tell the differences of other bird songs, one example being the White Crowned Sparrow. The songs they sing out here in fall and spring are vastly different from the songs I hear on birding websites. Even the Starlings out here "sing" differently than the ones back east... of course, their calls are the same. But birds like the Red Winged Blackbird, Cardinal and House Finch sound the same to me here as they did back in PA. Regardless, the House Finch is still my favorite native songbirds. Whenever I hear their song, even if I'm feeling down, I have to smile. They just sound so happy.
+A OK (Snerticus) come visit us ✨👽✨👽✨👽✨
Wonderful bird Thanks for the vidéo
Best part of this video is the lack of commercials... the worst thing is to be enjoying these little guys and a frickin commercial pops on. Some people have to monetize and that is counterintuitive to nature. Thank you for not doing that.
It’s not always the channel that puts up commercials. Sometimes TH-cam has them.
I love when they come to my back yard in the spring, looking for a place to nest, exploring every part of my covered patio.
I played this and all of the finches bounced LMAO 😂
MrCalilove32 I did the same thing.
Birds are a musical for us.
Theres a bunch of these lovely birds outside of my window singing every morning
beautiful video of one of my most favorite birds♡
I found a baby bird or more my cat did. It was late at night so I couldn’t bring it anywhere. It flat out refused to eat and just slept the entire time I joked with my Dad that we should play bird noises but then I played this and it’s head instantly shot up and it started begging for food
I'm playing this in front of my cat and she's going nuts looking all over the place, mostly up, trying to figure out where the bird is. 10/10 would recommend for cat entertainment
Very pretty lil birds. I saw them when I visited New Jersey last year. I wish we had them in Utica, NY
nice man i put this outside and 1 came singing the exact same sound
Same here!
This is the bird that lands on my porch when the feeder is empty.
blue tooth speaker @ bird feeder with finches tilting head.......this is awesome thanks
I played this and three finches immediately flew into my backyard
A house finch is making a large nest on a shelf in my back porch. It talk to me when I'm sitting out there.
Beautiful Bird singing
A little female makes her nest on our porch every year in one of my moms hanging baskets. At first she will hesitate to come around if we're sitting outside. She will land and make this kind of "what?" sound. It's hilarious. After a bit she gets used to us and sits peacefully in the nest with us nearby.
A couple just decided to build a nest right over my front door. Albeit wild, they've slowly grown used to me. The father even fed the chick's in front of me just now. They don't exactly get up close to me but definitely closer than the average wild bird. As long as I'm sitting they seem more comfortable with me. Being that this was the first time I ever played this video out loud outside, not shortly after was when the male fed the chick's. So I think it helped me bond further with my new feral friends.
I really like birds.
Thanks for this nice recording.
I showed this to my finch I think he likes it
I'm rehabbing an injured house finch with a badly broken wing. He may end up more as a toad than a bird, hops everywhere. He loves this site, gets him singing.
excellent recording!
wish I could have bird feeders on my balcony - it’s not allowed (even in our lease 😢) would so love to repay this handsome fella for all the beautiful songs he’s serenaded me with over the years - since my balcony is primarily concrete it acts as an amp making Mr Finch’s song HUGE - best birthday present ever - he just sat where I could see him and sang out 😁🤗 when he was done he tilted his head as if looking back at me and flew off - what else could a girl want 😁😉🤔
They make my heart happy!
I have a male and female that live in an arborvitae next to my porch with babies I hear recently I'm located in southern Ohio.
They've nested in my carport for the past several years. Currently the female is sitting on the fence chirping 'go away' to our cat Opal.
This made the birds outside sing with it
Never see this birds before, Only start this spring this red Finch in my back yard .Seattle Washington.
I have a couple that visits my window bird feeder a lot..They used to sing like that, like asking for permission to eat..Not anymore at all..They just got friendly and dont ask..just go eat..While looking at me...heyyyyyyyyy!!! where is my song? heyyy!!
+David Brown--Now they brought their kids..lots of music..While looking at me inside getting ready to go work..
Aloha! I have about 5 that come to my balcony pretty much back and forth through the day, they sure can eat a lot
Yeah they are little piggies 🐷
Buena grabación, yo tengo pinzones de cara roja, y se animan mucho
I love these lil guys🥰🥰🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻🍀🍀
3 of these house finches landed on the telephone lines in my back yard, in the morning, making these sounds. Because of Google, and uploaders like Cece Ovvarc, it didn't take long to find out what kind of birds they were.
I play this for my cat. She immediately perks up :)
They projects love not hate no guns no evil intent what so ever why can't humans.. Listen let's care more for each other please
I'm in Toms River NJ and put out a large variety of seeds, nuts and fruits daily. This is the first year that these birds have been showing up to feed. At least 5 come by together. I also have Cardinals, Robins, Black Capped Chickadees, Mockingbirds, Crows, Cow Birds, Sparrows,Wrens, Mourning Doves and Goldfinch, Hummingbirds and for a few years now a pair of Mallards visit for a short time and take showers in my sprinklers.. Each year I have planted different bushes and small trees and It seems each spring new species show up and their songs are awesome.
@James Merryman Wow ! Thank you for the great info. I believe the birds in my backs up to the woods apartment appreciate the company. More seem to be congregating...without artificial feeding.
