🦉 The common chaffinch or simply the chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)

• fringilla (lat.) - finch; fi nco (Old German), fi nc (Old English)
• coelebs coelebs (lat.) - single, idle, unmarried

These famous and skilled forest singers appear in the forests in early spring, even when there is still snow. Moreover, you can even meet them on flights even earlier, but at this time they are silent, so it is difficult to notice them, but I managed to do it once.

In spring, males actively defend their territory, sometimes even fighting, not only among themselves, but also with other birds. In each territory, the male feeds himself and feeds the female with her children, of which there can be many. Yes, these birds can be polygamous.
