Birdwatching - 1838 🐦

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

• Pyrrhula (Greek): pyrrhos - red

These cute plump birds are simply the personification of winter. That is why they like to be depicted on winter cards, advertisements and other winter holiday greetings. Yes, they arrive in cities and towns starting in mid-to-late autumn, when it gets cold.

Sexual dimorphism is pronounced, the male is bright red, and the female is light brown. Moreover, matriarchy reigns among bullfinches, females are in charge, and they are also the instigators of various fights, especially at bird feeders.
