Once a Cage Bird the Bullfinch was imported from Germany and taught to sing by their owners. They formed a strong attachment to their keepers. It is believed that they pair for life. Although the Bullfinch’s name is sometimes thought to come from its bull neck it may instead be derived from the German Blodtfink or Blutfink which means literally Bloodfinch, inspired by the colouring of the male. they lay late April to July 4 to 5 eggs. Incubation 12-14 days, mainly by the female. 2 Broods maybe 3.
