These birds prefer habitats such as shrubby areas, open woodlands, and fields with dense vegetation. They primarily feed on seeds, insects, and berries, often foraging on the ground or in low shrubs. The Blue Grosbeak is known for its melodious song, which adds to the charm of its presence in the wild.
