Lesser goldfinches (Spinus psaltria) are tiny and quick birds growing more than 3.5 – 4.7 inches in length and 0.42 ounces in weight.
It is a songbird and is found in deep forests as well as in gardens in suburban areas from southern North America to northern South America.
They’re different from other members of their species regarding the habitat they choose – the lesser goldfinches are often spotted in large flocks near water bodies and feeding sites.
Males become territorial during the breeding season and put their best foot forward to court the females and, ultimately, choose one partner.
The females build the nest, and the male watches over her as she completes building the nest in 4-8 days.
