The Eurasian Wryneck (Jynx torquilla)
Summary edit
| Description |
Українська: Крутиголовка (Jynx Torquilla). Майстри маскування – самець і самка мають сірувато-буре захисне забарвлення оперення, яке добре приховує крутиголовок на тлі деревної кори. Свою назву пташка отримала завдяки характерній поведінці – якщо крутиголовку заскочити зненацька, вона розправляє хвіст, наїжачує пір'я, опускає крила. При цьому пташка шипить і крутить шиєю та очима, вдаючи змію.
Якщо взяти крутиголовку до рук, вона здатна прикинутися мертвою (танатоз). Хоч крутиголовка й належить до родини дятлових, цей птах не довбає деревину, а також не залишається в нас зимувати. Об'єднує крутиголовку з іншими дятлами будова ніг та довгий клейкий язик, яким птах здобуває улюблену їжу – мурах.
English: The Eurasian wryneck (Jynx Torquilla). Masters of camouflage - male and female have grayish-brown protective plumage coloration, which hides the Eurasian wryneck well on the background of tree bark. The bird got its name due to its characteristic behaviour - if the wryneck is caught unawares, it spreads its tail, ruffles its feathers, and lowers its wings. At the same time, the bird hisses and twists its neck and eyes, pretending to be a snake.
If you pick up the Eurasian wryneck, it can pretend to be dead (thanatosis). Although the wryneck belongs to the woodpecker family, this bird does not chop wood and does not stay in our country for the winter. What unites the wryneck with other woodpeckers is the structure of its legs and a long, sticky tongue, which the bird uses to get its favorite food - ants. English: Birds, animal, camouflage |
