Description
Green warbler finch skull replica measures 3.93 x 1.28 x 1.28 inches. The Certhidea olivacea is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and jaw). 1:1. Made in USA.
The Galapágos Islands of Ecuador comprise the entire native range of the green warbler-finch. Semi-humid forests provide their primary island habitat.
This small bird represents one of the famous Darwin’s finches. Body length measurements average 3.9 inches. Total weight spans from 0.28 to 0.35 ounces. Greenish feathers color the body for camouflage among lush forest leaves.
Breeding males display distinctive reddish throat patches and sandy-brown upper backs. Olive-brown feathers cover the upper body of females. Sharp beaks probe bark and leaves for resources easily. Small groups of single bird’s forage across the forest floor.
Seeds, insects, small fruits, and berries make up the diet. Summer months bring a heavy focus on caterpillars, beetles, ants, and spiders. Winter weather shifts their foraging focus toward seeds and berries.

Fern, the green warbler finch skull replica, decided it would be fun for the four of them to rent bright green e-bikes to cruise around the island for the day.
Cracker, the large tree-finch skull replica, put his neon green helmet on and took off first.
Cruz, the medium ground-finch skull replica, wearing his ever cool Vuarnet sunglasses zoomed right past Cracker within a minute. He had put the bike in the fastest mode it would go.
Bitty, the small ground-finch skull replica, had to adjust her seat as low as it could go because she has tiny, short legs. She caught up with her friends quickly chirping all the way through the island about how fun this adventure turned out to be.
