GETTING TO KNOW THE FINISH, THE SOUL VOICE, BUT SOME PEOPLE HATE

The finches, or in its scientific name is Pycnonotus aurigaster, is a species of bird that comes from the same relative as the swamp cucak, beard cucak, Merbah (trucuk), and other cucak cucak species from the Pycnonotidae family.

The finches have a body length from head to tail feathers of approximately 20 cm.

This bird has physical characteristics. The upper body and tail feathers are gray-brown, the chest or belly feathers are white and gray, then have a crest on the head, and the bottom feathers are yellow-orange.

The male crested finches are taller than the female crested. however, for its body size female finches are larger than males.

For its own habitat, this bird can be found almost anywhere, such as in plantations, forests, rice fields, village settlements, even in urban areas.

This bird, is a diurnal animal (activity during the day), and its main food is fruit (Frugivora), but it is not uncommon for this bird to eat insects.

(Insectivora). The unique fact is that in addition to having a melodious and diverse voice, this bird is an adaptable bird.

Furthermore, this bird is a social bird, sometimes even Nongki and Ngegibah have a hobby to flocks of other bird species such as the merbah (trucuk) bird.

Then, it has a unique foot shape. What is unique here is that it has parallel legs with a small size. So, in addition to being able to grip the twigs firmly and firmly, of course it is not easy to slip or fall.

Finally, this bird is hated and hated by some people, especially some hobbyists chirping mania.

The reason why this bird is so hated by chirping mania hobbyists is because the sound of this bird can damage the sound of other birds such as the stone magpie and the green Cucak when they are contested in the Bird's Hand.

Not even infrequently, so hate or fear can affect the sound of his pet bird, to the point of being shot at or perched around it.

Actually, it's very sad just because I'm afraid that the sound of her pet bird is caught by the sound of a finches, must be shot or killed. Because the finches have an important role in maintaining the balance of the natural ecosystem. In addition to helping to spread seeds through dirt, it can also control insect pests.

Actually there is the best and wiser solution without having to eradicate the finches around us, namely by placing it in a quiet room with the cage position in full kerodong, then reducing the portion of the EF food, and finally, the most important thing is to often master it in full and regularly with other bird stuffing sound using Mp3.

For its own distribution, this bird can be found in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. and in Indonesia itself, the finches are endemic to the islands of Java and Bali.

Even so, now finches can be found on the islands of Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Kalimantan because of the introduction (deliberately released or brought by humans).

In fact, in Maluku, especially in North Maluku, the existence of finches has become a threat as a local invasion. Because it is feared that it will disturb the population of the Kipasan Kebun which is the endemic bird population of Maluku.

For this bird population status by IUCN is still Low Risk or least concern, even though there is actually a trend of population decline in nature. and the finches are bird species that are not protected by the State.
