The call note of the goldfinch sounds like dear me, dear me. They are also called catnip bird, beet bird, lettuce bird, salad bird and thistle bird because they eat those seeds. Other names include wild canary, willow goldfinch and yellowbird.Accidents can happen to goldfinches. They have been caught on the hooked burrs of burdock and could not escape.hile its true that the goldfinch enjoys thistle seeds, there is nothing sad about this beautiful, colourful little bird. Goldfinches are between 11 and 14 centimetres (4 1/2 to 5 1/2 inches) long and weigh from 11.8 to 13.3 grams (1/3 to 1/2 ounce).
The female and young can be identified by the solid-color back and breast, stubby finch bill, wing bars, notched tail, whitish rump and roller-coaster flight. In autumn, the male takes on a grayish yellow color to resemble the female. The song is long, high and sweet. Keep your eye out for our state bird!
