what do you feed goldfinches
Feed an American Goldfinch bird small seeds or broken nuts every 20 minutes. Do not force the bird to drink water. American Goldfinch are almost exclusively vegetarians. However, keeping and feeding baby birds is illegal in most parts of the United States. The best option is to return the baby to the wild.
1 The male Goldfinch has a longer beak than the female and so can feed on teasels, something the female rarely tries to do.  Numerous European flocks are migratory flying to the Mediterranean for the winter.
