A small songbird of the finch family with yellowish-green plumage, commonly seen in gardens and woodlands across Europe and western Asia.
From green + finch. Named for the distinctive green and yellow coloration of the male bird, which is more brightly colored than the female, these birds belong to the genus Carduelis.
Greenfinches have an unusual love of teasels and thistles—they'll literally hang upside-down to extract seeds, and their dramatic acrobatic feeding style makes them one of the most entertaining garden birds to watch!
