Fringillids (true finches) are small to medium-sized passerines with stout conical bills adapted to eating seeds. The family includes many species not explicitly named as finches, including the grosbeaks, Hawaiian honeycreepers, canaries, serins, siskins, twite, linnets, redpolls, crossbills, euphonias and chlorophonias. Finches are native to every continent except Antarctica and Australasia (though some species have been introduced to the latter). Many have colourful plumages and cheerful twittering songs, and several species are kept as cagebirds. The family includes some of our most familiar garden birds (e.g. Chaffinch Fringilla coelebs, from which the family gets its name, in Europe and House Finch Haemorhous mexicanus in North America).
