Bullfinch. (Pyrrhula europea.)
This handsome finch has the gift of imitating correctly
the songs of other birds, and can also be taught to pipe
a tune. In their wild state Bullfinches do much injury during
the spring to currant and gooseberry bushes, cherry trees,
and pium trees, by devouring their flower buds. The
Bullfinch builds a nest of fine root-fibres, lined with hair,
fixed on a platform of twigs, placed on a low branch of
a tree with much foliage. The eggs are four to five in
number, and are pale blue, spected and streaked with
purplish-grey and dark brownish
spie.
