Siskin (Carduelis Spinus)
This beautiful bird is a lively small finch. It has a forked tail and the male has a yellow-green body and back crown. They are relatively small birds, between a blue tit and a robin in size. Siskins can be found in coniferous and mixed woodland across the UK.
Siskin birds love to eat seeds so our
sunflower seeds would be a good choice!
Fun facts!
- 400,000 pairs of siskin are thought to breed in the UK each year!
- Siskin life span is around 2 -5 years
