The Pine Grosbeak is a large, colorful finch that is native to Canada. They are known for their distinctive red, pink, and gray plumage, with the males having brighter colors than females. They are primarily found in northern forests, especially in spruce and fir forests. Pine Grosbeaks are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Their diet includes seeds, fruits, and insects. They are known to visit bird feeders during the winter months when food is scarce. These birds are monogamous and mate for life. They build their nests in conifer trees, usually near the trunk. The female lays 3-4 eggs, which both parents incubate for about two weeks. The young birds leave the nest after about two weeks and are fully independent after about a month. Pine Grosbeaks are not considered endangered, but they are vulnerable to habitat loss and climate change. They are a popular species for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts to observe in Canada.
