    Are 'vampire finches' a real bird?
    Few will think of a small and rather lovely bird – the finch. But there are indeed “vampire finches” that feast on the blood of much larger birds, and they were introduced to the world in a fantastic segment of Perfect Planet, the new series narrated by David Attenborough for the BBC.

    But to compare these animals to the birds, she had to turn to colleagues working in the Galápagos, who collected samples of vampire-finch poop.

    How much booby blood does a vampire finch eat?
    It’s hard to know exactly how much of the finch’s diet is booby blood, but our unpublished data suggests it’s about a tenth.

    Do Vampire flies affect finches?
    Evolution isn’t a conscious adaptation to circumstances; it’s simply the product of useful random mutations, that happen to come in handy and then get passed on, or ‘selected for’. The invasion of these vampire flies has been shown to affect the young of finches with lower levels of brood care instinct.
