Large Cactus Finch

Geospiza conirostris

The Large Cactus Finch, or Geospiza conirostris, is a species of bird found in the Galápagos Islands. It is known for its distinctive large size and strong, conical beak, which it uses to feed on seeds and insects. These finches are well-adapted to arid environments and are often found in the lowland arid zones of the islands. They are highly social birds and are often seen in small groups foraging for food. The Large Cactus Finch plays a significant role in the ecology of the Galápagos Islands and is a subject of interest in evolutionary studies due to its unique beak morphology.

Habitat: Lowland arid zones
