The goldfinches are the most attractive birds
we have. They fly from place to place and call each other with twittering
notes. They eat small seeds of various kinds of weeds. Their favourite
food is the thistle. They live in the rather open country. They are deep
cups. They start to nest in May. It has a lovely golden wing and a red
and black head. The finch has a thin pointed bill which enables them to
extract seeds from plants like teasels. The nest is built up of forked
twigs made well away from the trunk of a tree. The northern birds move
south in winter.
