So i've just seen an American Goldfinch for the first time (say what you will) and was wondering if its viable as a "pet." by that I mean domesticated in a way as you would own, say, a parrot. Is that a thing or is it one of those birds that youre not supposed to? i.e. say like a Bluejay, or a Robin.

Scratch that, migratory birds act.

Dude just get a canary, it literally looks the same except for the black markings. You can't keep a migratory bird in a box.

Put a feeder out.
That particular bird needs a special feeder IIRC, they will perch, then hang upside down to feed.
It's cute to watch especially when other birds see a gold finch feeding then they try to do it and fall off repeatedly.

Do everyday birds like sparrows eat these black seeds?

Lots of birds love nyjer. Even mourning doves. But goldfinches love it most of all.

American Goldfinches already /are/ commonly available pet birds. Check craigslist. If you can't find any for sale in your area buy a spring trap.
