Description
Even with its colorful breast feathers, the eurasian Bullfinch is still easy to miss, unless the small bird is whistling its soft plaintive calls. The small finch prefers areas with established trees like woodlands, parks, and orchards where the bird quietly feeds on fruit and flower buds. Occasionally, the bird is a pest of fruit crops.

Feeding Habits
Eurasian Bullfinch predominantly feeds on seeds and buds of fruit trees, especially during autumn and early winter, favoring ash and hawthorn. As a forager, eurasian Bullfinch is known to cause damage in orchards. Preferred cover crops include kale, quinoa, and millet near tall hedges or woodlands.
Habitat
Eurasian Bullfinch typically inhabits mixed woodlands, often with a preference for coniferous trees, across a range of environments including parks, gardens, and rural areas. The bird is found in broader regions like lowland to lower montane areas, including deciduous forests, woodlands, heaths, hedgerows, and scrub. In urban settings, eurasian Bullfinch tends to be more prevalent in outlying green spaces rather than dense city centers, particularly in the eastern part of its range. Habitats extend to coniferous forests rich in underbrush, encompassing spruce, cedar, larch, birch, yew, and bamboo, at elevations up to 3000 meters, adapting to different altitudes across various geographic locations, from northern Europe to central and eastern Asia.
