"Symbolic Bird Meaning of the Finch. When finches come into our awareness it is a sure sign of ebullient times ahead. Finches are a sparkly omen of high energy and bright days on the horizon."
Who writes these things? Do they imagine there is only one kind of finch in the world?​Pace Darwin, but he was not the first to recognize that finches specialize. 

Bullfinches are beloved in Northern Europe and Asia. There's more than a touch of the mystical about them.  They are beautiful dollops of animated life in the depths of the coldest winter.

Any finch can symbolize ebullience. But a Bullfinch... a Bullfinch is a specific promise of joyful life that can survive the cold.
