Lesser Goldfinch
This Lesser Goldfinch comes in for a landing at the feeder. The other chatters, protesting the intrusion.
The Lesser Goldfinch is smaller than the American Goldfinch. It also varies more in coloration, and can be green or black-backed.
Females, juveniles, and wintering males can look similar, be aware of the size difference.
A great way to positively identify the bird you are seeing is to look at their ranges. If they don't live where you are, then it is a very high probability it is not that species.

I agree, and a lot of them are not using original photos. I also suggest taking a look at @timspawls.

As always your post are lovely. I wonder if birds could talk. They would surely make you their ambassador.
I think am going to get a parrot soon
Thank you. Parrots can be a LOT of work and need a lot of interaction. They can also outlive you so make sure you do your research and are sure of the commitment. :)
Never knew parrots needs alot of attention. I think I might reconsider. Thanks for the advice you the best
Sorry for the account confusion. I was at a friend's house and used her account on accident.
Yeah I saw it was kind of confused. I thought you changed your username
