The American Goldfinch is a small passerine bird native to North America, making it a key species in the local avifauna. It is considered to be an important pollinator, being a major seed disperser given its preference for feeding on weed and thistle seeds. American Goldfinch birdsong consists of bright melodious chirps, often delivered in flight and coinciding with each undulation.
