About These Birds
Beautiful Rosefinch
The Beautiful Rosefinch is a colorful finch of high-altitude shrublands and alpine meadows across the Himalayas and Central Asian ranges. Males are brilliant crimson-pink on the head and breast with streaked brown wings, while females are streaked brown. It feeds on seeds and buds, descending to lower altitudes during harsh winter months.
Stieglitz
Der Stieglitz ist ein auffallend schöner Fink, dessen silbriger Gesang und farbenprächtiges Gefieder ihn seit Jahrhunderten in der Kunst und als Käfigvogel beliebt gemacht haben. In Renaissance-Gemälden erscheint er häufig als Symbol der Passion Christi. Ein Schwarm Stieglitze wird im Englischen liebevoll als „charm“ (Zauber) bezeichnet.
