Lily H Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Can anyone tell me the name of this little bird? I compared this photo with a goldfinch online but they look different. It sat on my head and hand for a while right in my back yard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Cute picture. The fact that is tame makes me wonder if it was once a pet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Most definitely looks like a parakeet that got loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo1 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 A Lesser Goldfinch and the photo of the yellow headed bird do NOT match. The bird in the first photo is definitely not a parakeet, which would have a "hooked" bill. It looks like a Lesser Goldfinch female, not a male. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were directing your reply to my post, please observe I did not say it was a male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 No, of course you didn't. It was an observation so that folks don't think they all look so pale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
