Finch

The true finches are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Fringillidae. Finches have stout conical bills adapted for eating seeds and often have colourful plumage. They occupy a great range of habitats where they are usually resident and do not migrate. They have a world-wide distribution except for Australia and the polar regions.

Many birds in other families are also commonly called "finches", including some species in the very similar-looking waxbills or estrildid finches (family Estrildidae) of the Old World tropics and Australia; several groups of the bunting and American sparrow family (Emberizidae); and the Darwin's finches of the Galapagos islands, now considered members of the tanager family (Thraupidae).

Systematics and taxonomy

The scientific name Fringillidae, comes from the Latin word fringilla for the common chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), a member of the family which is common in Europe. The name was coined by the English zoologist William Elford Leach in 1820. The Fringillidae family is divided into three subfamilies, the Fringillinae containing a single genus with the chaffinches, the Carduelinae containing 183 species divided into 49 genera, and the Euphoniinae containing the Euphonia and the Chlorophonia.

    Finch (TTC)

    Finch is the northern terminus subway station of the Yonge Street section of Line 1 Yonge–University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located under Yonge Street north of Finch Avenue.

    Finch is the busiest TTC bus terminal and the sixth-busiest subway station, serving around 97,460 people per day. The station connects with other transit agencies at the adjoining Finch Bus Terminal.

    History

    The station was opened on March 29, 1974, in what was then the Borough of North York, by provincial premier Bill Davis and borough mayor Mel Lastman. It replaced York Mills as the northern terminus of the line. Homes which once fronted the station along Yonge Street were demolished. Finch was created using the cut-and-cover technique as a way to save money.

    In 1999, this station became accessible with elevators.

    In April 2006, work began on creating a new exit from the bus station on the western stub of Pemberton Avenue. This new exit was created because of the congestion that was created during the rush hour periods. Not only did the congestion affect customers entering or leaving the station, it also caused long delays for cars around Bishop Avenue. In the morning rush hour, buses took an average of 1 minute and 58 seconds to travel the 40 metres from the station to Yonge Street, with some waiting up to 4 minutes. The new exit was completed in January 2007.

    by: Finch

    I wish it didn't hurt, hurt like this
    To say these things to you
    I'll sacrifice one moment for one truth
    If we get though tomorrow then we'll be fine
    (Then we'll be fine)
    We'll wait for
    (We'll wait for)
    Forever and see how close we get
    It's just another day
    One more chance to get this right
    I'll sacrifice forever, please just for tonight
    If we get though tomorrow then we'll be fine
    (Then we'll be fine)
    We'll wait for
    (We'll wait for)
    Forever and see how close we get, we get
    (The worst is over for now)
    Take a breath, now let it out
    The worst is over for now
    Take a breath, now let it out
