My 6 year old described the most beautiful thing the other morning. Goldfinches bursting out of the bush like fireworks.
Lyrics:
I stepped outside this morning
and went to the orchard for you, daddy
Away flew a whole flock of gold finches
It was amazing
I can also describe it like fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
See how nature works
Po-ta-to-chip
Po-ta-to-chip
They sing
Brightest yellow
With a black forehead and wing
Po-ta-to-chip
Po-ta-to-chip
They sing
Brightest yellow
With a black forehead and wing
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
See how nature works
Stick to seeds
Only bugs in emergencies
Color-Changing feathers and beaks
By the season we see
Eat upside down
And fly around so free
A group is a “charm”
What a charming way to be
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
See how nature works
They weave thistle tight in their nest
And spider silk where their eggs rest
Dense and watertight is the best
For raising their babies and maybe guests
Cowbirds lay their eggs next to the finch
Even as they grow bigger by the inch
They raise them as their own without a flinch
You go mommy goldfinch
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
See how nature works
Po-ta-to-chip
Po-ta-to-chip
They sing
Brightest yellow
With a black forehead and wing
Po-ta-to-chip
Po-ta-to-chip
They sing
Brightest yellow
With a black forehead and wing
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
See how nature works
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
Goldfinch fireworks
See how nature works
