A Singer of Spring: The American Goldfinch

  • Опубликовано: 4 июн 2012
  • A video of the vibrant and cute lil' american goldfinches that flock to my birdfeeders on a yearly basis. A goldfinch's daily schedule around here basically looks like this: wake up, bombard the infinite stash of birdseed, visit the birdbath, sing my heart out in the trees, repeat until dark. In case you are wondering on the different look of my birdfeeders, the only ones I use are home-made and built to be jay proof, weather-proof, and, in one weight activated case, squirrel proof. As a result, they do not look the prettiest, but are very effective--the finches and sparrows sure love them! If you so wish, you can watch a video I made a little while back on how to make a simple version of my bird feeders at • How to Make a Bird Feeder .

    One of these landed in my car’s windshield and stared at me last year, and I took up bird-watching as a result. I have a bird guide filled with many checkmarks now.
    It’s the best thing I have ever done.

    I am a novice bird watcher. These birds sparked my interest earlier this year. I saw about 31 or more at my bird feeders this morning in Franklinton, NC.

    Very Clever feeders! I love these little Goldfinches (our State bird)...I live in an apartment and not allow to have bird feeders because of the mess....I buy hulled sunflower seeds and slightly crush them with food processer...the Grossbeak & Goldfinches are always here, I simply love them! Thank you for sharing!

    Absolutely LOVE this video!!! Never seen so many beautiful Goldfinches at once in my life!! We get a few in our Colorado yard each spring/summer, and feel fortunate to have them visit. Every May I have been drawing more and more Bullocks Orioles and Western Tanagers, though, along with several Black Headed Grosbeaks and Lazuli Buntings. Can't get enough of the brilliant colored feathered friends!! Thanks for your video!

    The goldfinches who visit my feeder only get this busy when they’re molting... even then, you still have a much BIGGER turnout then I ever have in the two years that I’ve been bird feeding.

    American gold finches will not share my feeder at the same time with other finches except for their mates. On all the online footage I see, the finches all gather at the finch feeders together with no issues. Why are all my finches fighting at my feeder when there are plenty of food and perches for all? Can anyone help out on this?

  • @vistaprime

    • @3hockeybros
      @3hockeybros  5 лет назад

      Thankfully I have never seen a house sparrow here, so I doubt that's what it is. Lots of gold, purple, and house finches, and maybe some white or golden crowned sparrows, but no house sparrows I'm sure.

    Thanks for drawing attention to "Baldy". Is his missing toupee something that is often seen in goldfinches in your area? I've never seen such a goldfinch before.

    • @3hockeybros
      @3hockeybros  9 лет назад

      babyfacejudy Baldy is maybe one of two goldfinches I've seen completely without a black cap, but it is not uncommon that the cap is smaller than usual or a pattern (one had it in the shape of a lightning bolt) instead.

    What seed were you feeding them? I feed nyjer seed and get a nice amount but you get a lot more than me.

    • @3hockeybros
      @3hockeybros  10 лет назад

      Sorry I took such a long time to reply, I haven't signed into youtube for a while. The only seed I have ever fed my birds is black-oil sunflower seed. I don't know why it works so well for goldfinches, seeing as it is recommended to feed them nyjer. I actually performed a little experiment with the two types of seeds, and the sunflowers outperformed the other a hundred to one. Be careful though...I was going through 40 pound bags of birdseed in about a week at that time, and it was getting expensive. I have since put them on a "diet" and it now takes 3 weeks to finish a bag of seed with a moderate amount of birds. It was fun while it lasted, but it was a bit of a strain on the wallet.

    • @dcaramia
      @dcaramia 10 лет назад

      3hockeybros Wow, that's crazy.. I'll have to go get some sunflower seeds.

    • @3hockeybros
      @3hockeybros  10 лет назад +1

      Danny Caramia Just be sure that it is black-oil sunflower seeds--not sunflower or striped sunflower--as a goldfinch's beak is not robust enough to break the shell of those other types.

    • @dcaramia
      @dcaramia 10 лет назад

      Actually, this is on a peninsula on the southwest of an island in the very bottom left corner of British Columbia. Basically, as far southwest as you can go in Canada.
      Thank you to you, and everyone else who has given positive feedback to this video, I did not expect it to be so popular--I guess people love alot of goldfinches.
