Short Description:

The Common Linnet (Linaria cannabina) is a small passerine bird found in Pakistan. It measures around 13–14 cm in length with a wingspan of approximately 20–24 cm. The male has a distinctive crimson forehead and chestnut mantle, while the female has a more subdued appearance with brown streaks and a pale belly.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

the Common Linnet is distributed across various habitats including grasslands, agricultural fields, and scrublands. It can be found throughout the country, from the plains to the foothills of the northern regions.

Common Linnets are social birds often found in small flocks, especially during the non-breeding season. They feed primarily on seeds, particularly those of grasses and weeds, but also insects during the breeding season. Their flight is undulating, and they have a melodious song, especially during the breeding season when males sing to establish territories and attract mates.
