American Goldfinches can be found at the edges of woods, mixed woodlands, roadsides, gardens, parks, open areas with some trees and shrubs, farms, and orchards.
Goldfinches eat a variety of seeds from trees, weeds, and grasses. They also eat some insects, flower buds and berries while they feed on the ground, weed stalks and foliage. Their winter diet consists of birch and alder seeds, thistle, sunflower, dandelion, ragweed, mullein and goldenrod.
