#69 Purple Finch
*Small and chunky with big seed-cracking bills, Purple Finches are irregular winter visitors to bird feeders in the U.S. They breed across much of Canada and in northern forests in the U.S., but every few years many head south in the fall to search for food in response to shortages of cone crops. It is the adult male that gives the Purple Finch its common name, though it is really a raspberry red. The females and immatures are a streaky brown.
All embroidered bird patches have an iron-on backing, but the adhesive is temporary. For durability, we recommend sewing or using a permanent, flexible fabric glue.
A small, detailed bird patch made for adding a bit of the natural world to everyday things. Sew it onto a favorite jacket, tuck it onto a backpack, or use it to mend and keep something well-loved in use a little longer.
Perfect for nature lovers, young explorers, and anyone who enjoys small, meaningful details inspired by the outdoors.![]()
