	British Garden Birds - Chaffinch
		The Chaffinch is well known for its "rain" call which is a repetitive short trill, and a loud "pink pink" call.
		Chaffinch populations were affected in the 1950s by use of agricultural chemicals and changes in farming practice, but now seems to be doing all right.
		Like the Bullfinch, the Chaffinch used to be a common visitor in the winter, but in recent years the numbers have dwindled and now we hardly ever see them.

	Chaffinch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chaffinch, (Fringilla coelebs), is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.
		The acquisition by the young chaffinch of its song was the subject of an influential study by British ethologist William Thorpe.
		In a number of countries such as Belgium, the Chaffinch is a popular pet bird, although it is nowadays forbidden to catch the birds in the wild.

	On being a chaffinch
		If a bird (normally a chaffinch) is occupying a feeder and eating in it the coal tits will approach from that bird’s blind side and nip in and take a seed from behind them.
		Although larger than the other tits and at least as large as the largest chaffinches they are the birds most likely to be scared off at the last moment from an approach or even after having landed.
		If completely outbullied by a chaffinch they can perform the seemingly impossible by clinging to the nearby wall (either on a vertical surface or upside down on a horizontal one) until a gap appears.

	Blue Chaffinch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blue Chaffinch, (Fringilla teydea), is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.
		The Blue Chaffinch structurally resembles a large Chaffinch, but the breeding male is unmistakable, with its largely blue plumage and grey bill.
		The song is shorter and weaker than that of the Chaffinch, and the flight call is croakier.

	Fringilla coelebs - Chaffinch
		The main sources of food for chaffinches are buds, berries and seeds.
		The most common place to see them nesting is in the fork of a tree or a bush, where they produce typically four to six grey eggs tinged with pink and covered in brown blotches.
		Chaffinches are regular visitors to bird tables and hanging feeders, sometimes becoming so tame that they will continue feeding while you sit and watch them from close by.

	BBC - Science & Nature - Wildfacts - Chaffinch
		Chaffinches are 14-18cm in length, with a wingspan of 14-18cm, and weigh 20-25g.
		Chaffinches range through Europe, across Asia to Afghanistan, the Mediterranean region, north Africa, Canary Islands and the Azores.
		The nest is neat and well-constructed and positioned in a tree or a bush close to the trunk or a substantial branch.

	Chaffinch: Confidentiality in the Face of Legal Threats
		Chaffinch is a way of sending multiple messages within a single communication by means of a "chaffing and winnowing" style scheme.
		Chaffinch can be made more robust against coercion by agreeing extra keys per channel, one to be used to authenticate the traffic, and others to be revealed in extremis.
		Therefore Chaffinch can only be seen as one part of a communications security strategy in which systems such as steganographic filestores [8] may also play a part in providing system-wide plausible deniability.

		The nests of chaffinches, which are built in woods, hedges, or gardens, are cup-shaped and made of grass, moss, and fibres.
		Chaffinches often have two broods in a year, and each clutch comprises 4 to 6 brownish eggs, which the female incubates on her own for 12 to 13 days.
		Young male chaffinches learn the song of adults near them, and the songs of birds from different locations are distinguishable.

	Chaffinch
		The chaffinch is the UK's second commonest breeding bird, and is arguably the most colourful of the UK's finches.
		In 2006 the chaffinch was number 5 in the top 20.
		In winter, migrant chaffinches from Scandinavia and Northern Europe join our resident birds and the cold weather there this year could explain the large rise in numbers in 2006.

	Chaffinch
		The Chaffinch is undoubtedly one of the most widespread and familiar birds, occupying most woodland, parkland, farmland and urban habitats across Britain and Ireland.
		Female Chaffinches and immatures are less strikingly coloured, with an overall drab brown-grey-green appearance to the back and head and a buff off-white belly and chest.
		Male Chaffinches begin to defend their breeding territories in February, a time when many Continental Chaffinches are still present in Britain as part of the wintering population.

	Chaffinch Fringilla coelebs
		Chaffinch, (Fringilla coelebs), is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.

		The ornithologist, Oliver, has given a description of the chaffinch’s song as usually heard in New Zealand “as a bar of seven notes and terminal flourish.” It was not long before he was giving chase to a female which one might mistake for a sparrow if not for the white wing bar.
		The chaffinch, according to Oliver, was introduced into New Zealand as early as 1862 and liberated near Nelson.
		The distribution of the chaffinch in the northern hemisphere is widespread; in Europe, north almost to the tree limit and south to North Africa and Iran, east into Siberia and West to the Canaries, Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde Islands.

		In that case, the jury found Col. Chaffinch illegally transferred Sgt. Foraker from his job as supervisor at the indoor firing range after the sergeant reprimanded another trooper who was a friend of the colonel's.
		Neuberger said Col. Chaffinch launched a "public media campaign'' against Sgt. Foraker, accusing him in the press and on television of "mismanagement, dereliction of duty and destruction'' of the firing range, which was shut down by the state police four months after the sergeant returned as supervisor.
		Chaffinch he was quoted in the article as saying the range was a lot dirtier than when he had visited it about six months earlier.

	Chaffinch, Fringilla coelebs
		The male with his smart blue-grey and rusty-pink plumage is easily identified, and although females are duller, and can be mistaken for sparrows at first glance, the prominent wing bars and slimmer shape quickly dispel that error.
		Chaffinches are among our most abundant birds, the last major survey by the BTO in 1988 - 1991 estimated over seven million pairs breeding in Britain and Ireland.
		One species always worth looking for in flocks of Chaffinches is the Brambling, a close relative of the Chaffinch which breeds in more northern areas of Scandinavia, with varying numbers of birds wintering here.

	Chaffinches
		The acquisition by the young Chaffinch of its song was the subject of an influential study by British ethologist William Thorpe.
		Thorpe determined that if the Chaffinch is not exposed to the adult male's song during a certain critical period after hatching, it will never properly learn the song.
		He also found that in adult Chaffinches, castration eliminates song, but injection of testosterone induces such birds to sing even in November, when they are normally silent (Thorpe 1958).

		Chaffinch (AM-81) was built in 1928 by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp., Quincy, Mass., as Trimont; purchased by the Navy 29 November 1940; and commissioned 16 July 1941, Lieutenant Edward Fluhr, USNR, in command.
		For the next year and a half, alert to the mounting German submarine menace, she swept for mines and patrolled waters off New York and New London.
		Continuing her essential support to the movement both of coastwise convoys, and those bound for distant ports, Chaffinch again served at New York harbor until 1 August 1945, when she cleared for Charleston, S.C. There she was decommissioned 12 December 1945, and transferred to the Maritime Commission 23 September 1946.

		The trapping of wild Chaffinches (Fringilla coelebs) is reprehensible on ethical, ecological and scientific grounds.

		Chaffinch abundance increased rapidly during the 1970s and 1980s, according to CBC/BBS and CES, but numbers seemed to stabilise during the1990s.
		Chaffinches are well adapted to suburban and garden habitats, as well as to highly fragmented woodland and hedgerows, occurring less in the open-field, arable habitats that have been affected most by agricultural intensification, so may have benefited by environmental changes from which other seed-eating passerines have suffered.
