Wild goldfinches feed mainly on tree fruits, weed seeds, grains, and plant buds, and also eat a little insects. Goldfinches nest in large pines or dense branches. The nest is cup-shaped, mainly made of grass roots, and twisted with some fibers and spider silk. The nest is covered with a small amount of feathers and other soft materials.
Goldfinches breed from late March to early July. Each clutch lays 4 to 5 eggs. The egg shell is greenish-white with brown spots. The incubation period is about 11 to 13 days, and it is a late-adult bird type, which needs to be fed by the parent bird, which half-digests the food into a paste and then spits it out from the crop to feed the chicks.
