All the inhabitants of our planet are beautiful and diverse in their own way. But the class of birds stands out especially. These creatures are spread around the world and adorn every corner of the earth.
Birds are a class of animals with a constant body temperature. They are adapted to air flights and almost all have plumage. Birds play a huge role on planet Earth, as they destroy insects, and the singing of many of them is simply amazing. Today, there are about 9 thousand species of birds.
The finch family is a separate group of birds, which is distinguished by a beautiful and bright plumage. These birds are very decorative, so they are often kept in cages. The brightest representative of the family is the common greenfinch. This bird is the size of a sparrow, but very beautiful. Her body is covered with thin feathers, which contributes to a faster and easier flight.
Greenfinch is a bird with a large short beak. The bright color of the body contains yellow, green, gray shades, and the tail is olive and black. She herself is a little more than 15 centimeters and has a short tail, as well as wings that are easy to lift. This family lives in most of Europe, inhabits the north of Iran, Asia Minor and a small part of Africa. Zelenushka is a bird that settles in dense tropical forests, shrubbery, on the edges of the forest, in groves. It is found in gardens, parks and other similar places.
Zelenushka is a bird, which (as, incidentally, all other birds) has its roots of origin. She has several subspecies, but they are not found in all of the above territories. The breeding period in these birds passes quite quickly. At first, the male sings a beautiful long melody to the female. Then, if the pair has formed, the female immediately begins to build a nest, placing it high on a tree. To equip the nest, birds use almost all available materials in nature: moss, thin branches, bark, grass, wool, feathers. The nest is obtained in the form of a very strong and durable bowl, because the process of laying eggs is very important for the birds.
Clutch mainly contains 4 eggs. Hatching lasts up to two weeks, and during this period the male takes care of his companion, brings her food and material for warming the nest. Chicks that were born feed mainly on insects, which their parents deliver to them. After growing up, the chicks fly away from the nest, gather in a flock of nomads and leave their native places. And parents again begin to prepare for the appearance of new offspring.
Zelenushka - a bird is very cautious, shy and incredulous, so it does not often fall into the clutches of predators. In the same way, it is difficult and hard for photographers. If we analyze photographs of birds in Russia, we can see that photos of this bird are quite rare. A nimble and brisk greenfinch very rarely agrees to a photo shoot. Despite this, such birds are often kept at home in cages as pets. They become great friends for both children and their parents.
