The Eastern Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) in Pakistan is a small, brightly colored bird with a distinctive golden-yellow body, black wings with white markings, and a black cap. Its conical bill is ideal for extracting seeds from various plants.

Eastern Goldfinches are primarily found in northern and central regions of Pakistan, including forested areas, grasslands, and cultivated lands. They are often spotted in gardens and parks, especially where thistle and other seed-producing plants are abundant.

These birds are highly social and often seen in small flocks, particularly during the breeding season. They are primarily seed-eaters, feeding on a variety of seeds from plants like thistle, dandelion, and sunflower. Eastern Goldfinches are known for their acrobatic flight and melodious songs, which they use for communication and courtship. They build compact cup-shaped nests in trees or shrubs, usually lined with soft materials like plant down or feathers. Breeding pairs typically raise multiple broods in a single season.
