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-chinned Siskin
The Black-chinned Siskin is a small, attractive finch of open woodland, scrub, and montane slopes in Chile and Argentina, with males showing a black chin and cap contrasting with yellow-green underparts and grey wings with yellow wingbars. It inhabits open forests, scrubby hillsides, and cultivated areas with trees. It feeds primarily on seeds from conifers, native shrubs, and weeds.
