Goldfinches are native to Western Europe and North Africa , and raising them is a cherished hobby in Algeria .

The bird is considered a symbol of freedom, and was favored by poets and artists around the time of Algeria 's war for independence in the 1950s and 60s .

Laws enacted in 2012 classified the bird as a protected species and made its capture and sale illegal.

But the practices are still common, as the bird is frequently sold in pet shops and markets.
