Arabian Grosbeak

The Arabian Grosbeak is a near-threatened finch from the mountains of Oman and Yemen, weighing about 30 grams with a wingspan near 18 cm. Its heavy bill is adapted for cracking hard seeds and fruit stones in montane forest and dense scrub habitats. The restricted range of this stocky finch makes it vulnerable to habitat disturbance.
