π¦ The fieldfare (Turdus pilaris)
- Turdus (lat) - Thrush
- pilaris the etymology is mysterious, although it is now believed that pilaris in later Latin means simply thrush (Jobling, 2017). However, since lat. "pilus" hair, pilare to remove hair, but pila ball, pilaris anything related to ball, and pilarius is a juggler (and at the same time, the Greek "trikhos" is hair, and "trikhas" is a thrush!), all this puzzling. Two assumptions arise. First: when the fieldfare in summer, how usually pulls earthworms out of the ground, this can be associated with hair removal (pilare). Second: when in autumn and winter the fieldberry picks rowan berries and throws them up, swallows, it may resemble a juggler (pilarius).

Although these birds are wintering birds, they fly away from my region in winter to where it is warmer. And occasionally, when the winter is warm, they can appear in my city, Iβve seen them several times.

With the arrival of spring, when the sun is already bright and warm, the snow begins to melt, these birds return slowly. Birds are flocking birds, and are always ready to come to each otherβs aid if they see that some predator such as a crow or kite is approaching their territory.
