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.
