Habitat: Goldfinches can be found on farms, in suburbs and in gardens. Their nests are formed of weeds and vines and the downy filaments of certain seeds, and are built in shrubs or trees.

Foods: They eat seeds, insects and berries. At bird feeders they prefer hulled sunflower seed and thistle seeds.

Did you know?: The goldfinch weaves its nest so tightly, it will fill with rainwater unless a parent bird shields it with outspread wings.
