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.
Apapane
The Apapane is a vibrant Hawaiian honeycreeper with deep crimson plumage and white undertail coverts, weighing about 15 grams with a wingspan near 14 cm. It is one of the most abundant native forest birds in Hawaii, feeding primarily on nectar from native ōhia lehua flowers. Its rapid, looping flight and melodious song are characteristic of Hawaiian forests.
