The Pine Bunting is primarily found in the northern regions, particularly in the mountainous areas such as Gilgit-Baltistan and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It inhabits coniferous forests and alpine meadows during breeding season, while in winter it may descend to lower elevations and venture into agricultural areas.
Pine Buntings are primarily seed-eaters, foraging on the ground for grass seeds, grains, and occasionally insects. During breeding season, males establish territories and engage in courtship displays to attract females. They are known for their melodious song, often heard during the breeding season. Outside of the breeding season, they may form small flocks for foraging and migration.
