About These Birds
Arabian Serin
The Arabian Serin is a small finch endemic to southwestern Arabia, weighing about 14 grams with a wingspan near 13 cm. It inhabits montane scrub and terraced cultivation in the highlands of Yemen and Saudi Arabia, feeding on small seeds. This compact seed-eater is closely related to other African and Arabian serins in the Fringillidae family.
European Goldfinch
The European goldfinch is a strikingly beautiful finch whose tinkling song and colorful plumage have made it popular in art and as a caged bird for centuries. It appears frequently in Renaissance paintings as a symbol of the Passion of Christ. Flocks of goldfinches are charmingly called a charm.
