Sisiken


Our address is Sisiken (pronounced sea-sick'n) *lol*, Norwegian name for the bird Pine Siskin. Some interesting facts about the siskin:

• The name Siskin is derived from its sound or chirp. Thus, this bird’s common name is really “pine chirper”

• Pine Siskins are very social birds. They will build nests adjacent to each other, with only a few feet in between them.

• When eating from conifers, the Pine Siskin usually hangs upside down from the tips of the trees.
Other bird streets around here are the wren, blackcock, the chaffinch and yes, we have the cuckoo.
