About These Birds
Black-headed Greenfinch
The Black-headed Greenfinch is a medium-sized finch with a black head, dark olive-green body, and bright yellow wing patches and tail edges. It inhabits open forest, secondary growth, and scrubby hillsides from northeastern India through southern China and Vietnam. It feeds on seeds, berries, and buds, often foraging in the forest canopy and along woodland edges.
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.
