Since last few days one pair of American goldfinch is visiting my patio garden to pick seeds from boxwood basil plant and Amaranth plant (thotakura/Maathachi bhaji). Both the plants are placed close to my patio door and I am able to see them from living room through patio glass door. Every day these birds make two or three rounds to pick seeds, they smartly cling to the plant from different directions. It was fun to observe this pair of American goldfinch while picking seeds. After picking Amaranth and basil seeds, they will jump over to black-eyed susan flowers. Enjoy few pictures of male and female American Goldfinch and one Video of female goldfinch captured while picking boxwood basil seeds.
