Finch - small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Fringillidae.
Some people keep them as pets
Maw – INFORMAL - the mouth or gullet of a greedy person.
I’m sure you’ve seen pictures/video of baby birds begging to be fed when a parent shows up with chow.
I’ve often wondered how the parent bird chooses which baby to feed. Finch babies are really tiny, as a grown finch averages only 4 inches.
So first how to they choose? “No Larry you had the last grub, give Vern a chance”. Nah, can’t be they all look alike. But Finches cheat.
Maybe the can tell which is which, they certainly can tell if somebody slipped a cowbird in there.
