Orange Bullfinch

Pyrrhula aurantiaca

The Orange Bullfinch, scientifically known as Pyrrhula aurantiaca, is a small passerine bird native to the high-altitude coniferous forests of the eastern Himalayas. This species is characterized by its striking orange plumage on the male, while the female exhibits a more subdued olive-brown coloration. The Orange Bullfinch is often observed foraging for seeds and insects in the dense undergrowth of its forest habitat. Due to its restricted range and habitat loss, this species faces threats from deforestation and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure the survival of the Orange Bullfinch.
