As a galapagos finch I am better at galapagoing than the 'merican finch. On the other hand I sneer at 'merican finching and have no need to finch there at all. What amazes is the survival characteristics that mold the basic protoplasm to the perceived degree that it does. We may be bullfinch different than we know. Or as singular raptor would have it, since we don't know how different we are, we must assume we are the same until it is necessary to prove otherwise for religious humanitarian reasons. One of the survival characteristics of finches is that they don't like anti finching. Some would hold that is not god's plan but if he didn't like finching he would not have invented it. The sino-finch has too many eggs in his nest as a rule. For the sake of other finches they must seek a solution to the problem. Since most finches do not think it wise to make rules about nests it will be hard indeed to do this. But the facts remain. Free finchery conflict and the limited number of trees (or the tragedy of the commons) looms large as a conundrum in that birdery. First problem for the finch is food. Then nest. Then predators. The sino-finch has few predators as the 'merican eagle does not actually eat sino-finches but manages to scare them a lot by looking like it would. The eagle actually wants to feed finches in order to create a finch dependancy. I guess that is what eagles do. Can't fathom a reason for it though. EC<:-}
