The twite (Linaria flavirostris) is a small brown passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It is a partially migratory species that is found in a strongly disjunct distribution in northern Europe, and in Asian mountains from eastern Turkey to Nepal, western China and Mongolia. It mainly feeds on small seeds but occasionally also feeds on insects.
The twite is a small brown finch found across scattered regions of northern Europe and Asian mountains, where it primarily eats seeds and occasionally insects. This partially migratory bird matters as part of the finch family and represents an example of how some bird species maintain populations across geographically separated areas rather than in one continuous range.
