How to know the species of Finches by the nodules in finch chick's mouth / What is the marknigs in finch chick's mouth / Types of finches
The offspring of many finch species, like these Australian Gouldian finch( Chloebia gouldiae) chicks, have luminous nodules, called papillae, on the sides of their beaks and markings on the inside of their mouths. Together, these act as sort of a "beacon" to direct the parents to the hungry mouths of their chicks in dark nest cavities. Each species of finch has a different arrangement of papillae and mouth markings. As each chick develops into an adult and begins to eat without parental assistance the papillae and markings gradually disappear.
