Nice! I just finished reading _The Goldfinch_ recently.

A friend of my daughter’s gave her a bird feeder with a WiFi camera recently. We were amazed to see how many different species of birds we saw in our backyard yard! And of course squirrels. No chinchillas though.

I looked up the painting, and oh, such a sad story about the painter! But I don't understand the title.

I found the painting online, zoomed in, and saw the poor bird was chained to the seed box. Then I kept looking up stuff about that era, and every single painting (by other artists), show the bird chained. The goldfinch apparently was very popular, and people taught them to fill up a tiny little bucket with water. We haven't progressed much, because so many put their birds in cages. IMHO. Glad Nodes removed the chain!

I needed that exercise in patience!

Love it

So sweet! Cheers to my fellow birdwatchers. Around here we have lots of house finches and the lesser goldfinch 🪶

This is a European Goldfinch. Mrs Chinchilla and I saw one in a park in Amsterdam 😍😍😍 birdie friend. As far as I know there’s no such thing as a European Chinchilla. Just normal chinchillas

Carel Fabritius paints The Goldfinch in 1654. Four centuries later, somebody steals the gold chain and titles the police report Unchained. Bold.

I'll admit, I googled red face, tan feathers, and got back European Goldfinch. I'm thinking yes, because it looks very similar. I L😍VE bird watching, but I'm definitely not in Europe, so it's a "maybe." We've only got about 15 species of birds on Hawaii Island. It's a hostile environment for birds, believe it or not!

We get lots of these in our garden in Scotland!

NimbleSquid55825 Aug 2026 at 8:06 AM

Only about 15! Wow! That is so many less than I would've thought! Are there lots of introduced species that have taken over? in Australia the introduced species definitely tend to try and take over.

There are a lot of great birdie friends in Hawai’i. Some of my favorite friends are the I’iwi, apapane, red crested cardinal, saffron finch, leiothrix, and the zeebie and spotted doves. And of course my favorite, the Nene 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🪿 I once saw a Hawaiian Owl on Kaua’i too
