    Average Wingspan: 14-15 cm
    Beak type: Insects


    Feeding:
    Natural: Spiders, moth eggs and other small insects
    How to feed: Goldcrests are usually ground feeders, but may be attracted to a bird table in the middle of winter.
    What to feed: Suet mixed with insects, mealworm  
    Nesting: The nest is suspended near the end of a conifer branch and is made by the female. The nest is made from moss, lichens and spiders' webs, and lined with feathers. They will also nest among ivy.
