This is a male and a female house finch. The females are all brown with a spotted stomach and the males are brown with a red head and chest. These birds like Niger seed the best, but also eat sunflower and safflower seeds. They aren't shy birds at all and will sit in the tree and watch me when I go out to fill the feeders. These are a regular visitor to my feeders and like to live in close proximity to houses and humans.
