Pyrrhula pyrrhula, commonly known as the Eurasian Bullfinch, is native to the Palearctic region. Its geographical distribution ranges from western Europe, including the British Isles, across northern Europe and Scandinavia, to Siberia in northern Asia. The species is also found in parts of Central Asia and Japan.

The Eurasian Bullfinch typically inhabits temperate forest areas, especially those with dense undergrowth and shrubs. It is commonly found in mixed or coniferous woodlands, as well as in hedgerows, orchards, and gardens during the winter season. The climate in these regions is usually temperate, with cold winters and mild summers.

Pyrrhula pyrrhula primarily thrives in areas where food such as seeds and buds are plentiful. The species often forages in low bushes and prefers locations with abundant berry-producing plants. In terms of ecological niche, the Eurasian Bullfinch plays a role in seed dispersal in its habitat. Regional variations can be seen, such as movements to lower altitudes or more sheltered woodlands during harsher winter conditions, indicating some adaptation to local environmental changes.
