The male bird is greenish, the female greenish-grey, with brown-streaked back. Wing edgings are yellow, the feet pink. While tits grab a seed and fly away to eat it, greenfinches eat their meal at the feeder as if visiting a café. They are sometimes a bit peevish and quarrelsome towards other birds.

Wintering greenfinches grow more numerous by each year, the population may be estimated at 50 000 individuals.
