🦉 The willow tit (Poecile montanus)

• Poecile poikilis (Greek) an unidentified small bird mentioned in ancient texts
• montanus (lat .) : mōns, montis mountain, mountain range, montanus mountain

These birds live year-round in any forest, so they're easy to spot. In city parks, they can even be tame and happily take treats from your hand. They are sociable and outgoing, and in autumn they join other species in mixed flocks to search for food together in the forests.

By the beginning of spring, you can hear their beautiful, melodic, melancholic songs, which contrast greatly with their hoarse, ringing calls.
