They are found in summer in thickets, woodland and forest edges near rivers and in winter in gardens and orchards, wetlands and locally in dry oak woods. The nest is placed low in a bush. The eggs are dark blue with coarse dark brown spots, and a typical clutch contains five eggs. Because this species and the scarlet finch form a phylogenetic group, it has been removed from the genus Carpodacus in some recent taxonomies.

Meanwhile, the genus Carpodacus on the other hand has a whopping 27 different species. These sparrow-sized birds are around 6 inches long (15 cm).

Others have speckles, mottling, or patches of other colors. The different colorations that you can find on these birds include black, white, yellow, brown, red, gray, blue, and more,” according to the animal encyclopedia.
