The American Goldfinch

The American Goldfinch is one of the most striking birds in North America. With brilliant black and yellow feathers, these birds are immediately recognizable, especially in the summer months. The goldfinch, unlike most birds of its type, prefers to remain a strict vegetarian, eating only seeds for its entire life. To attract this handsome creature to your own back yard, plant native thistle or hang bird feeders full of sunflower and nyjer seeds. This way, you’ll get to enjoy the presence of the American Goldfinch all year long! For more information go to: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Goldfinch/lifehistory
