SearchThe Birdfeeders.com website provides pictures and information about many of the birds you might see in your neighborhood. Below is information about the American Goldfinch.
American Goldfinch (“The Vegetarian”)
Scientific name: Spinus tristis
Range: Most of the continental U.S. and Southern Canada, in fields and backyards.
Description and diet: When a male American Goldfinch flies by, you definitely notice him thanks to his canary-yellow feathers. Unlike most birds, American Goldfinches are strict vegetarians and only eat insects by accident. Bring them to your feeders by offering thistle or sunflower seeds as well as feeders designed explicitly for them.
