Unlike some species, they are willing to share feeders with others.** **american-goldfinch.com** **Goldfinches move south in winter following a pattern that seems to coincide with regions where the minimum January temperature is no colder than 0 degrees Fahrenheit on average** **[|allaboutbirds.org]**   || ||  ||   || [|www.allaboutbirds.org] ||   ||   ||
