This Soft Toy has a wonderful likness to the real Bullfinch. Press him and he wil even make a real Bull-finch call.
Latin Name Pyrrhula pyrrhula
The male is unmistakable with his bright pinkish-red breast and cheeks, grey back, black cap and tail, and bright white rump. The flash of the rump in flight and the sad call note are usually the first signs of bullfinches being present. They feed voraciously on the buds of various trees in spring and were once a 'pest' of fruit crops. Recent declines place it on the Red List.
