In the thin, sunlit air of the Himalayan highlands, these rosy-browed mountaineers flit among alpine shrubs and rocky slopes with quiet resilience. They feed on hardy seeds, buds, and mountain berries, selecting each with calm precision in a land shaped by wind and cold. What makes them extraordinary is their role in sustaining life at the edge — dispersing seeds and helping alpine plants persist across harsh elevations where few creatures endure. Soft notes in a vast landscape, yet faithful guardians of the high mountains.
