🦉 The Eurasian nuthatch or wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea)
📚 Sitta sittē (Greek) mentioned by Aristotle and other ancient Greek. by the authors of the bird, something similar to the woodpecker
📚 europaea (lat.) European
Very funny birds that are a pleasure to watch. Moreover, these guys are not very afraid of people, and can easily be near a person, and are easily tamed.
It's especially funny to see nuthatch stockpiling food.
If there is a lot of food, then they try to take as much as possible in their beak. If these are sunflower seeds, then they take three at once. And then they cut them separately, by removing the peel.
And the extracted ready-made edible seed is already hidden. In cracks in tree bark, under moss, various other holes in trees. And they can also hide people in clothes if you feed them.
