	Greenfinch
		Greenfinches have expanded their range in Britain and Ireland over the last 100 years and have moved from being a bird of forest edge to becoming a common garden bird.
		Greenfinches have a number of different calls, uttered either from a perch or given in flight, including a rapidly delivered ‘chichichichichit’ and the characteristic nasal ‘dzwee’, the latter commonly heard during the breeding season.
		Greenfinches tend to nest in rather loose colonies, with evergreen shrubs providing perfect sites for the placement of their nest, built with twigs, moss and grass, and lined with roots and hair.

	BBC - Science & Nature - Wildfacts - Greenfinch
		Greenfinches are 14cm in length and have a wingspan of 16-18cm.
		Greenfinches feed on a variety of seeds including dog's mercury, elm, yew, rose, bramble, chickweed, dandelion and burdock.
		Greenfinches build an untidy nest of sticks lined with feathers, which are often grouped in small colonies.

		The Greenfinch is a large stocky finch with a distinctly forked tail.
		The numbers of Greenfinches peaked during Summer 2000 when adults were accompanied by the juvenile birds, and fed on sunflower seeds.
		Also, Greenfinches are using gardens more during the winter because hedge flailing, which is increasingly used in preference to more expensive alternative hedgerow management methods, removes many of the seeds that they would otherwise eat.

	Feathered Flyer: The European Greenfinch (Carduelis chloris)
		The European Greenfinch can also be found in New Zealand and some territories of Australia where it was introduced, along with other familiar songbirds, by immigrants to provide them with some reminders of home.
		I have read that Greenfinches can be housed in mixed flights, but in my experience the cocks can become aggressive and make life miserable for other smaller occupants.
		The modern "show" type Greenfinch is much larger than its wild counterparts and as a consequence the vibrancy of the colours have dulled somewhat.

		European Greenfinch Carduelis chloris are 14-16cm long with a stout olive green body and a yellow edge to the wings and the sides of the fl tail.
		The Greenfinch moves in small groups, feeding on seeds — including those of conifers — which it cracks with its strong bill, weeds and insects.
		The Greenfinch is mostly confined to northern Tasmania where it was introduced around 1940 and to the south-eastern coast of the mainland including Bushy Park Wetlands.

	Greenfinch eats cones
		These are finches, related to the greenfinch, which use the uniquely crossed tips of their bills to extract seeds from cones.
		Some years ago, I was excited to see greenfinches feeding on the cones of cypress trees because my bird books did not record any kind of cone in the greenfinch's diet.
		Greenfinches have also taken to feeding on sunflower seeds and peanuts in greater numbers than other finches.

	BirdForum - Siskin or Greenfinch ?
		For one thing the Siskin has a relatively delicate bill for a finch: it's still a seed-eater's bill, but not nearly as heavy as the stonking hooter in your pic.
		For another the wing bars on Siskin go across the wing, unlike the Greenfinch's yellow stripe down the edge of the wing.
