Goldfinch

Goldfinch is one of the most beautiful birds found in our forests. Goldfinches settle in cozy groves, orchards, not far from lush bushes or thickets of weeds. He especially loves the open area with groves and copses, with large orchards and thickets of weeds in the neighborhood, on which he willingly feeds. Goldfinches love to fly to hemp stands, to the threshing floor, thickets of thistles and burdocks. With the approach of winter, the flocks migrate to the south. All winter they feed on seeds, mainly alder and birch, but their favorite food is burdock and thistle seeds. Where these weeds are absent, there are no goldfinches, or they are very rare. The beautiful song of the male consists of sonorous trills. The goldfinch's song is quite loud, pleasant, varied and extremely funny and perky. For his singing, he is held in high esteem by songbird lovers. It is very difficult to express the song of the goldfinch in words. It is a rather motley set of completely peculiar sounds. The goldfinch sings it while sitting on a branch or on top of a tall bush. A singing goldfinch while singing behaves like a canary, turning left and right.
