Introducing the Birdorable European Goldfinch: A Backyard Favorite

The European Goldfinch is a small, colorful bird native to Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa. These finches are easily recognizable by their striking red faces, black and white heads, and yellow and black wings. Their diet mainly consists of small seeds, like those from thistles and teasels, and they are frequent visitors to bird feeders, especially during winter.

European Goldfinches are not only visually appealing but also have a delightful, tinkling song that adds charm to their presence. They are social birds, often seen in flocks, especially outside the breeding season. Their nests are intricately woven cups of moss, grass, and lichen, usually placed high in trees.

Our Birdorable version of the European Goldfinch captures its adorable and vibrant nature, making it a perfect representation of this beloved bird.

Not only the European Goldfinch ca only found in the UK. Some Goldfinches can be found in Spain. Just like the European Robin.
