The Goldcrest

The Goldcrest makes a beautiful nest in the thick foliage of coniferous trees; suspended from a branch, the Goldcrest makes a ball of moss lined with feathers, all held together by spiders' webs.
In appearance, they're a dull greyish-green bird with a pale belly and a black and yellow stripe on their heads, which has an orange centre on males. Their thin beak is ideally suited for picking insects out from between pine needles.
