greenfinch

During this quiet, pleasant time the greenfinch was perhaps more to me than any other songster.

I hear the greenfinch, stronger and sharper than our goldfinch, but less pleasing.

The greenfinch is soon attracted by hemp seed, and all the smaller birds by canary seed.

A still smaller bird, a Greenfinch, is even more refractory: all that I obtain from him is a few seconds' drowsiness.
