These finches are found in forests and shrubland from northern Afghanistan to the western Himalayas. They feed on seeds, buds, and berries, including those from juniper, wild rose, and barberry, generally foraging on the ground. Breeding between May and July, they build cup-shaped nests low in bushes from plant fibers, grass, strips of juniper bark, and hair.
