Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis)

It is a bird which, due to its beauty and its singing, is often caged as a pet. They are very sociable individuals. Their main food is of plant origin, with their strong, sharp beak it is easy for them to get seeds out, although the plant varieties on which they feed are very varied. In spring, when they are raising their young, and part of the summer, they hunt insects to complement their diet.
