Brambling scientific name: Fringilla montifringilla is a small bird with a body length of 14-17 cm. The mouth is thick and pointed, conical in shape. Males are black from head to back, with tawny feathers on the back. The wings and tail are black, with white spots on the wings. Except for the pairing activities during the breeding period, there are many flocks in other seasons, especially during the migration period, they often gather in large flocks, sometimes even as many as hundreds or thousands, and they mostly spend the night on the trees at night. They mainly eat plant foods such as grass, fruit and seeds, especially weed seeds, and also eat tree seeds and fruits.
