“Tn habits this bird resembles the members of the genus Geospiza. It utters a song 
which, however, is not so harmonious as that of the species next mentioned, with which 
it bears some affinity. C. habeli I met with singly, but this species in families of several 
individuals, gaily chirping, and eagerly selecting the swelling fruits of the Euphorbia 
bushes.” —H.
