🦉 The spotted nutcracker, Eurasian nutcracker, or just nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes macrorhynchos)
- Nucifraga Latin: nux - walnut, frangere - to smash, crush
- caryocatactes Greek: karyon - walnut, katagnumi - crush
- macrorhynchos Greek: macros large, long, rhynkhos beak
This subspecies is also known as the Siberian nutcracker. What distinguishes it from other subspecies, as you might guess from the Latin name, is the much longer beak length.
They live far outside the city in a coniferous forest, which is very difficult to get to. It’s strange that I see these birds only in the fall.
This corvid bird eats everything the same as other corvids, but is very fond of pine nuts. she stores them, hiding them in the ground, burying them. And thanks to this, these seeds then grow into trees. We can say that the bird is very, very useful.
