🦉 The Eurasian bullfinch, common bullfinch or bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula)

📚 Pyrrhula (Greek): pyrrhos - red

These fluffy plump birds are like the personification of winter. They like to draw on winter postcards and paintings. And this is not surprising, because bullfinches arrive in cities at the end of autumn, and stay until the beginning of spring. In summer, they are very secretive and inconspicuous, even their flight is silent. Moreover, they are silent in themselves, but in the summer they are all the more silent.

The male is bright red, and the female is slightly brown. In winter, they try to stay in small flocks, but usually alone. They like to visit yards and parks that have bird feeders, as well as berry trees, especially rowan.
