Does not have the most musical song for to sing
Low in volume and sounding a bit scratchy yet for their beauty admired
Many artists and writers to sketch and write of them known to be inspired
The duller coloured female in a saucer shaped nest of twigs lined with hay
In a bush or a hedge four to seven blue brown dotted eggs lay
They eat seeds and fruit tree blossoms gardeners look on them as a pest
And protecting their fruit trees from them much time and money invest
They do not like the beautiful finches of the short stubby bill
And if the opportunity arises them they will kill
But bullfinches are clever and wary of humans as well they should be
And they quickly take to flight when a gardener they do see
These beautiful birds with the low in volume scratchy song
Once seen and once heard you never again will get wrong.
