🦉 The Eurasian siskin (Spinus spinus)

• Spinus spinos (Greek) unidentified bird mentioned Aristotle and other ancient Greek. authors.

I come across these yellow guys most often in the fall, when they fly in flocks through the forest. And in the summer I see them extremely rarely. Apparently they prefer to live in coniferous forests with tall trees. In my favorite forest, where I go most often, there are also a few coniferous trees because it is a mixed type forest. And there, in a place where coniferous trees grow, these birds live, in very small numbers.

In the fall, they unite in flocks and fly through the forests. You can see how they sit on the tops of trees and eat birch or rowan seeds. In this regard, they are similar to their close relatives - redpolls. Therefore, it is not surprising that some lonely siskin flies with a flock of redpolls.
