Goldfinches

/ˈɡoʊldfɪntʃɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural of goldfinch; multiple goldfinch birds.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'goldfinch,' adding '-es' (Old English '-es' plural suffix). Irregular only because 'finch' ends in 'ch'.

Kelly Says

A group of goldfinches is called a 'charm'—one of English's most poetic collective nouns, and perfectly fitting for their beautiful, tinkling song!
