The Common Redpoll: Close Up HD Footage (Acanthis flammea)

The Common Redpoll is a small finch found across northern regions of Europe, Asia and North America. These acrobatic little birds have a reddish forehead patch, black bib and streaked brown back. Their cheerful chattering call and ability to cling to plant stems while feeding make them fun to watch at bird feeders. Redpolls nest in birch and alder trees, laying 4-6 pale blue eggs with dark speckles. They primarily eat seeds from birches, alders and weeds, though they'll visit garden feeders for nyjer seed or peanuts. In winter, redpolls form nomadic flocks that wander in search of food sources.
