I am going on holiday now for a while, already missing the balcony crew.
*edit: It is a young goldfinch, right?
When a Kal-Toh player does birding.

This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort!

Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

There is some resemblance, haha. Didn't know this, i hardly ever watched star trek. I'm surprised that there's so many trekkies here on lemmy!
It makes sense. Lemmy is mostly leftist nerds. And that's StarTrek in a nutshell.
That crest is very characteristic of a goldcrest. I know of two sub species of gold crests, one has the yellow stripe the other a slightly orange stripe and body
This seems to me like the goldfinch, regulus regulus. Not the common firecrest , regulus ignicapilla.
My information sources is the Merlin Bird spotting app.
EDIT: the correct name is not goldfinch but goldcrest. As it is not in the finch family at all.
I probably should have said where i am located, it's in Düsseldorf, Germany. Regulus regulus should be around where i live too, according to my local bird book, but i have not seen one yet, i am quite certain it must be the child of Carduelis carduelis, European Goldfinch, the older ones are all over the feeder:
Cute picture! And I really like your username (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Oh thank you! Wish you a nice day :)
Definitely a goldfinch with that metallic yellow wingbar.
Yeah that's what i thought, looks just like a goldfinch just no red face yet.
I think I can see the beginnings of red on top of his head!
Was the bird feeder built by very small Orcs?
Carduelis Carduelis, one of my favorite birds. They sing amazingly (plus they're cute). My mother doesn't use her lawnmower too much or at least leaves some areas untouched, so it's not rare to spot those birds. I've seen up to 20+ at the same spot, eating on the ground or relaxing in apple trees.
I love them, they're so chatty and funny but get bullied by everybody else.
