European greenfinch

Description:

The greenfinch is 15 cm (5.9 in) long with a wing span of 24.5 to 27.5 cm (9.6 to 10.8 in). It is similar in size and shape to a house sparrow, but is mainly green, with yellow in the wings and tail. The female and young birds are duller and have brown tones on the back. The bill is thick and conical

Habitat:

Woodland edges, farmland hedges and gardens with relatively thick vegetation are favored for breeding. It nests in trees or bushes, laying 3 to 6 eggs. This species can form large flocks outside the breeding season, sometimes mixing with other finches and buntings. They feed largely on seeds, but also take berries.
