About These Birds
Stieglitz
Der Stieglitz ist ein auffallend schöner Fink, dessen silbriger Gesang und farbenprächtiges Gefieder ihn seit Jahrhunderten in der Kunst und als Käfigvogel beliebt gemacht haben. In Renaissance-Gemälden erscheint er häufig als Symbol der Passion Christi. Ein Schwarm Stieglitze wird im Englischen liebevoll als „charm“ (Zauber) bezeichnet.
Black-chinned Siskin
The Black-chinned Siskin is a small, attractive finch of open woodland, scrub, and montane slopes in Chile and Argentina, with males showing a black chin and cap contrasting with yellow-green underparts and grey wings with yellow wingbars. It inhabits open forests, scrubby hillsides, and cultivated areas with trees. It feeds primarily on seeds from conifers, native shrubs, and weeds.
