Description
Medium ground-finch skull replica measures 1.05 x 0.65 x 0.70 inches. Geospiza fortis skull is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible) 1:1 scale. Made in USA. Skull is an adult male.
Galápagos Islands host the medium ground-finch inside tropical and shrubland and semi-arid biomes.
Ten specific islands make up its home range: Baltra, Floreana, Isabela, Fernandina, Seymour, Pinzón, San Cristó, Santa Cruz, Santa Fé, and Santiago. Surrounding inlets also contain these birds.
Medium ground-finches measure 4.9 inches long. Their upper mandibles always measure longer than the bill base depth, though overall bill size varies.
Seeds form the primary diet. Flowers, buds, young leaves, and occasional insects provide additional nutrients. Human food items become the top preference for birds living inside urban areas.
Breeding pairs lay a clutch of 3 to 5 eggs inside dome-shaped grass nests.

Cruz, the medium ground-finch skull replica, rentend a bright blue paddle boat for the day. They are all really excited to pedal around the entire lake today and are hoping to see little baby ducks. They are so cute.
Fern, the green warbler-finch skull replica, got in first and quickly sat in one of the front seats. While the others were getting in the boat she fluffed her feathers and let out a little squeak of excitement.
Pip, the small tree-finch skull replica, joined Fern in the front seat and they are holding hands because they are best friends.
Woody, the woodpecker finch skull replica, felt the cool breeze and it gave him goose bumps all over. Once seated he opened the cooler and cracked a beer.
Everyone enjoyed their day on the lake and they were lucky enough to watch twelve little duckings taking their very first swim.
