The American Goldfinch is a really beautiful little bird. It can be seen at some time of the year in most of the U.S. The Goldfinch is pretty much a vegetarian, preferring a diet of vegetation.

The Goldfinch is easy to attract to your backyard. Just put up a feeder or two, almost any kind of bird feeder will do, including hopper, platform, and hanging feeders. It doesn't care if the feeder is swaying with a breeze, and it loves sunflower seeds, also milkweed and thistle.
