European Greenfinch
5 sections
The European Greenfinch (*Chloris chloris*) is a robust, olive-green songbird originally from Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia, now established in southeastern Australia. Resembling a house sparrow in size but chunkier in build, this finch is a familiar sight in gardens, parks, and farmland, often gathering in noisy flocks and visiting backyard feeders.
