- Fakta menarik
- The male Eurasian Linnet's crimson forehead and breast patch, absent outside the breeding season, come from carotenoid pigments obtained entirely through diet rather than being produced by the bird itself.
- Sebaran
- Breeds across Europe, the western Palearctic (Atlantic coast from Ireland to Morocco) and North Africa, east through temperate regions to Central Asia; northern/eastern populations migratory, wintering further south around the Mediterranean; southern/western populations largely resident or nomadic; introduced to the Dominican Republic
- Makanan
- Mainly seeds of arable weeds and wild plants (knotgrass, dock, crucifers, chickweed, dandelion, thistle, sow-thistle, mayweed, groundsel) plus tree seeds (birch, alder, hawthorn); some small invertebrates (insects, larvae, small snails), especially fed to newly-hatched nestlings before the diet shifts to seeds
