I also like pets, in my case I like fishes, but we do have something in common, we all love pets. nice lens. Anyway, I have an idea on building a garden with all kinds of birds in it. A setup in which the garden is enclosed with a wire or chicken wire so that the birds wont go out, but I tried to think that it will cost much,Anyway nice lens bird lover

We have enjoyed watching the Goldfinches enjoying a mess bag filled with seed. We have seen as many as 4 together. The hummingbird feeder is right beside it and it will have several hummingbirds on it at the same time as the finches. We are in upstate South Carolina. Great lens. Thanks for the wonderful information.

We have Goldfinches in our yard in Southern British Columbia during the summer months. It's always amazing watching up to 15 of them clinging to a birdfeeder like a cluster of bright yellow grapes!
Great lens! *****
Peace! :~)

Learn about the American Goldfinch
The American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis), also known as the Eastern Goldfinch and Wild Canary, is a North American bird in the finch family. It is migratory, ranging from southern Canada to North Carolina during the breeding season, and from just south of the Canadian border to Mexico during the winter.
The only finch in its subfamily which undergoes a complete molt, the American Goldfinch displays sexual dimorphism in its coloration; the male is a vibrant yellow in the summer and an olive color during the winter months, while the female is a dull yellow-brown shade which brightens only slightly during the summer. The male displays brightly colored plumage during the breeding season to attract a mate.
The American Goldfinch is a granivore and adapted for the consumption of seedheads, with a conical beak to remove the seeds and agile feet to grip the stems of seedheads while feeding. It is a social bird, and will gather in large flocks while feeding and migrating. It may behave territorially during nest construction, but this aggression is short-lived. Its breeding season is tied to the peak of food supply, beginning in late July, which is relatively late in the year for a finch. This species is generally monogamous, and produces one brood each year.
Human activity has generally benefited the American Goldfinch. It is often found in residential areas, attracted to bird feeders installed by humans, which increases its survival rate in these areas. Deforestation by humans also creates open meadow areas which are the preferred habitat of the American Goldfinch.
