Rosefinches are beautiful species of bird colored with soft pink tones. This bird has a brown upper body which is contrasted with light pink lower body and abdomen. These birds are regularly seen to hover about rhododendron and juniper shrubberies. In this species, we are looking at confident and tamed species that mostly remain in a small flock and it feeds on berries, seeds of grass, weeds and vegetables. When the weather gets harsh, these birds migrate to lower lands and settle in warmer regions.
