		During most parts of the year, the bullfinch will keep to the woodland, while in the winter it is often seen in parks and gardens - where it will find seeds and berries.
		This is probably mainly due to the striking red chest and how it stays "hidden" in the woodlands during the warmer parts of the year.
		The bullfinch is a common motive for Christmas cards and to many people this bird is synonymous with Christmas and snow.

	UNUSUAL SPERM MORPHOLOGY IN THE EURASIAN BULLFINCH (PYRRHULA PYRRHULA) Auk, The - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In other passerines, the sperm head is pointed and helical, and the midpiece comprises a mitochondrial helix extending along the flagellum; whereas in the Eurasian Bullfinch, the sperm acrosome is rounded, not helical, and the midpiece is extremely short.
		Excluding Eurasian Bullfinch from the analysis showed that most variation in sperm morphology in the other species was attributable to phylogeny.
		The Eurasian Bullfinch also has extremely small testes for its body size, which indicates that sperm competition is infrequent in this species; we discuss the possibility that relaxed selection, via lack of sperm competition, may have contributed to the species' unusual sperm morphology.
