why did a goldfinch pick my backyard coneflowers for its snack?

Last month, I caught a goldfinch hanging out on my coneflowers, just munching away like it owned the place. Turns out, planting native flowers like coneflowers isn’t just about pretty colors—they’re basically a buffet for local birds. I didn’t even have to do much. I just let the flowers go to seed and skipped deadheading for a while. Watching that little bird hop from bloom to bloom made my whole week. If you want more birds in your yard, just let your flowers do their thing. It’s wild how much joy a simple garden can bring, both for you and your feathered visitors. gardening #birdwatching #nativeplants #backyardwildlife #gardening #birdwatching #nativeplants #backyardwildlife
