A living garden is one in which there are a series of plants and animals that make it a wonderful space where you can disconnect from the routine. One of the elements that make it possible is the song of the birds, one of the most interesting being the goldfinch.
This small animal, native to the Mediterranean basin and Europe, brightens up the garden in a very interesting way. But, How to attract it?
Use natural products to take care of your plants
It is perhaps the most important. If we use synthetic products we run the risk that the fauna that interests us, among which we can find the birds, will die poisoned. To avoid this, it is always better to use insecticides y natural fertilizers, how can they be the neem oil or horse manure. Thus, we will have a much richer garden, much more alive.
Plant large trees
Goldfinches love to perch on the branches of very tall trees. Therefore, it is highly recommended to opt for plant some that grow 8 meters or more, As the arces, jacaranda or oak, which will give you very good shade as they grow.
Hang up some feeders
In garden stores and, above all, in agricultural warehouses we can find a wide variety of bird feeders. If we want them to come, It is necessary to acquire some that we can hang or attach in some way to the trees.
Avoid letting cats go
If we have cats that can go outside or there are felines in the area, we will have to protect the garden from these furry animals, because unfortunately they have a highly developed hunting instinct and they will not hesitate to go after the goldfinches. For it, we can put wire mesh (rack) high (2 meters or more) bordering the garden, and use cat repellants sold in pet stores so that they do not approach.
In this way, you can enjoy the song of the goldfinch. 🙂
