About These Birds
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.
Black-capped Siskin
The Black-capped Siskin is a small finch restricted to the high-altitude pine and mixed forests of southern Mexico and Guatemala, with males showing a bold black cap contrasting with yellow-green plumage and white wingbars. It inhabits open highland forests and forest edges above 2,000 meters. It feeds primarily on small seeds from conifers, grasses, and other plants.
