Feature
The finch is an omnivorous passerine, eating seeds and small insects. Most of this species do not exceed 7.5 cm (3 in.) in length and are quiet relative to other finches.
Blue-capped males (pictured at right) have blue on the tops of their heads and tend to be more vivid in color. On female Blue-Caps the light brown coloration on the wings extends to the nape of the neck and over the top the head.

Famous quotes containing the word feature:
“With men he can be rational and unaffected, but when he has ladies to please, every feature works.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
