Creature
Siskin
Bird
The siskin is a lively little finch of coniferous and birch woodlands. Agile and acrobatic, it dangles from twigs and feeders to prise out tiny seeds, its yellow-green plumage flashing as it moves.
💡 Fun Facts
- The siskin is a small, streaky yellow-green finch with a neat black cap and a sharply pointed beak.
- It loves the seeds of conifers, birch and alder, and often hangs upside-down like an acrobat to reach them.
- In late winter, when wild seeds run low, flocks of siskins often appear in gardens to feed on hanging nut and seed feeders.
