Feeding Habits

Habitat
The olive-backed Pipit habitually resides in evergreen woodlands, including groves and various forest biotopes. Its breeding territory encompasses the jagged edge of the taiga, open oak, birch, alder, fir, and pine forests, as well as grassy slopes and rocky terrains interspersed with bracken. The species is also found in secondary growths, wooded agricultural land, scrubland, and even barren lava fields near marshes. During breeding, olive-backed Pipit may inhabit areas above the timberline, such as dwarf juniper scrub, ascending to elevations as high as 4000 meters in the Himalayas. In the non-breeding season, it descends to Himalayan foothills and frequents wooded habitats like mango groves and plantations at lower altitudes.
