Pine grosbeaks have several adaptations that enable them to thrive in cold, coniferous forests. Their thick plumage provides insulation against harsh winter temperatures, while their robust bills are specially adapted for cracking open seeds and cones, particularly from spruce and pine trees. Additionally, their foraging behavior allows them to exploit a varied diet, including fruits and buds, which helps them survive in environments where food sources can be scarce. These adaptations collectively enhance their survival and reproductive success in challenging habitats.
Pine Grosbeak predators include snakes , hawks , and sometimes wolverines.

Pine grosbeak chicks typically fledge about 13 to 16 days after hatching. During this period, the parents feed the young birds, helping them grow strong enough to leave the nest. After fledging, the young grosbeaks may still rely on their parents for food and support for a short time before becoming fully independent.
