The nest itself usually has a diameter of 10 to 30 m. Many times these nest hold aproximentaly 3 to 5 eggs, sometimes more or less depending on the age of the bird. The nesting of the bird begins in April and is finished when all the chicks have left the nest or there is no longer a stable food source available. The population of American Goldfinches fluctuates during the seasons. In winter the population can take a dramatic decline, but this only help to control the population.
Goldfinches are very widely populated and don t live in fear of extinction.
Humans have been watching finches for decades and the Goldfinch is one of them. Many times a year the Goldfinch can be see from the windows of homes, and can be heard with its delightful chirrup.
