All the inhabitants of our planet are beautiful and diverse in their own way. But the class of birds stands out in particular. These creatures are distributed throughout the world and adorn every corner of the earth.
Birds are a class of animals with a constant body temperature. They are adapted for air flight and almost all are feathered. Birds play a huge role on planet Earth, as they destroy insects, and the singing of many of them is simply amazing. Today, there are about 9 thousand species of birds.
The family of finches is a separate group of birds, which is distinguished by beautiful and bright plumage. These birds are very decorative, so they are often kept in cages. The brightest representative of the family is the common greenfinch. This bird is the size of a sparrow, but very beautiful. Its body is covered with thin feathers, which contributes to a faster and easier flight.
Greenfinch is a bird with a large short beak. The bright color of the body contains yellow, green, gray shades, andtail - olive and black colors. She herself is a little more than 15 centimeters and has a short tail, as well as wings that are easy to lift. This family lives in most of Europe, inhabits the north of Iran, Asia Minor and a small part of Africa. Greenfinch is a bird that settles in dense tropical forests, shrubs, on the edges of the forest, in groves. It is also found in gardens, parks and other similar places.
Greenfinch is a bird that (like all other birds, by the way) has its roots of origin. She also has several subspecies, but they are not found in all of the above territories. The breeding season for these birds is quite fast. First, the male sings a beautiful long melody to the female. Then, if a pair is formed, the female immediately starts building a nest, placing it high on a tree. To arrange a nest, birds use almost all materials at hand in nature: moss, thin twigs, bark, blades of grass, wool, feathers. The nest is obtained in the form of a very strong and durable bowl, because the process of laying eggs is very important for birds.
Masonry contains mostly 4 eggs. Hatching lasts up to two weeks, and during this period the male takes care of his companion, brings her food and material to warm the nest. The chicks that were born feed mainly on insects, which are delivered to them by their parents. After growing up, the chicks fly away from the nest, gather in a flock of nomads and leave their native places. And the parents again begin to prepare for the appearance of a new offspring.
Greenfinch is a very cautious, shy and distrustful bird, so it does not often fall into the clutches of predators. In the same way, it is difficult and hard for photographers to get it. If we analyze photographs of birds in Russia, we can see that photos of this bird are quite rare. Nimble and nimble greenfinch very rarely agrees to a photo shoot. Despite this, such birds are very often kept at home in cages as pets. They become great friends for both children and their parents.
