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:
“A snake, with mottles rare,
Surveyed my chamber floor,
In feature as the worm before,
But ringed with power.”

“Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.”

“The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American. We recipients of the boon of liberty have always been ready, when faced with discomfort, to discard any and all first principles of liberty, and, further, to indict those who do not freely join with us in happily arrogating those principles.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
