Finches are small birds, about 10cm long, that feed on grasses and seeds. They
are found all around Australia, with many being endemic. 
Often birds come together and fly in united flocks, performing extraordinary
aerial acrobatics as one. Although not completely understood, it’s generally accepted that flocking birds benefit through cooperating with food hunting,
that they exchange information and have greater protection from predators as a group.
