🦉 The Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius brandtii )
📚 Garrulus lat.: garrire to chat, babble, chirp, garrulus talkative, chirping, noisy; ax prone to..
📚 glandarius glandis, glans (lat.) acorn
📚 brandtii brandti, Fedor Fedorovich Brandt (Johann Friedrich von Brandt, 1802–1879), Russian zoologist and physician.
A very interesting bird. It belongs to the corvidae family, and as you know, corvids are mockingbirds, that is, they are able to imitate sounds and voices.
And I have repeatedly been deceived by this bird. The last time I saw this bird, it screamed like a black woodpecker. I went to the sound hoping to take a photo of a beautiful stylish woodpecker, and as a result I saw how this naughty one was sitting on a branch and deceiving everyone with her voice.
Most often I see them in autumn, sometimes in winter, but almost never in spring and summer. Except for the wild coniferous forest far outside the city.
