The genus '''''Fringilla''''' is a small group of [[finch]]es, which are the only species in the subfamily ''Fringillinae''
The three species, which feed their young on [[insect]]s rather than seeds, are:
*[[Chaffinch]] ''Fringilla coelebs''
*[[Blue Chaffinch]] ''Fringilla teydea''
*[[Brambling]] ''Fringilla montifringilla''
The other much larger subfamily is the Cardueline finches in the subfamily ''Carduelinae'' which feed their young on seeds.
The ''Fringilla'' finches are [[seed]]-eating [[passerine]] [[bird]]s restricted to the Old World. These [[bird]]s have a bouncing flight with alternating bouts of flapping and gliding on closed wings, but feed largely on the ground.
