1. Why has the poet used the word "engine" for the goldfinch's nest?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The goldfinch has been called the engine of her family. Just as the engine starts up the machine, the goldfinch's arrival in the nest has suddenly started the machine i.e. the young ones in the nest have started making noise. The fuel of the engine is the food that the goldfinch brings for her chicks.
