These variegated birds appear in the forests only with the arrival of late autumn, somewhere around the end of October. By their nature, they are northern, and live in the very north of the continents, and with the advent of cold weather they begin nomadize to south.
They have large noisy flocks. And they are very easy to lure to the sound. An interested bird may even fly very close to the source of the sound.
Sexual dimorphism is pronounced. Males have a red spot on the throat and below, females do not have such a spot.
