Goldfinches

Familiar birds in Illowa them I often hear and see
Introduced in Australia where they live wild and free
In south western Victoria they are seen every day
Goldfinches are beautiful birds to look at of them one can say
Their twittering songs always pleasant to hear
They live in large flocks in Winter of the year
Small finches of red around short pointy bill and white, dark, fawn and wing tips of gold
They are very beautiful for to behold
They are often seen around where there are noxious weeds
Especially enjoying eating tiny seeds
Since they keep noxious weeds on their farms at bay
Farmers of them have only nice things to say
Goldfinches are birds I do see every day
I did know them from years ago and far away.
