The Eurasian Siskin, or just Siskin in
Europe, Carduelis spinus, is a small
passerine bird in the
finch family Fringillidae. The siskin is also known as the aberdevine in Europe.This bird breeds across northern temperate Europe and into
Russia. There is a separate population in eastern
Asia. It is partially resident, but the northern breeders
migrate further south in Europe in the winter. The eastern Asian birds winter in
China or further south. In some years there are large eruptions into the wintering range, when the preferred food of
alder or
birch seed fails. This species will form large flocks outside the breeding season, often mixed with
redpolls.
