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!
