Goldfinching 

The act of hopping along a line, swivelling your head around and twittering non-sensicle comments to a large audience. Almost tropical in appearance, the Goldfinch can be found scavenging around the edges of fielded areas and is drawn to nuts around pools. The Goldfinch's song is majestic in it's creativity - but one caught in the act of Goldfinching tends to be dismissed as being full of shit.

Goldfishing
