Feeding Habits
White-rumped Snowfinch primarily consumes small seeds and arthropods, adapting its diet seasonally; larvae dominate its spring diet, later shifting to chiefly adult insects. Ground foragers, white-rumped Snowfinch excavates soil and overturns stones, also exploiting dung near human dwellings. Usually solitary or in pairs, it can form larger flocks post-breeding.
Habitat
The habitat of white-rumped Snowfinch is characterized by barren alpine rocky terrains and flat steppes on the arid fringes of bogs. These birds are often found in symbiotic proximity to pika colonies, utilizing their burrows for roosting and nesting purposes. During the winter months, white-rumped Snowfinch tend toward areas near human dwellings for shelter.
