About These Birds
Picogordo
El picogordo es un pinzón de gran tamaño con un pico enorme y poderoso adaptado para partir semillas duras. Tiene plumaje marrón-anaranjado con alas negras y blancas. Mide unos 16-18 cm. Habita en bosques caducifolios y mixtos de Europa, Asia central y este asiático. Se alimenta principalmente de semillas de cerezo, acebo y olivo, que puede partir con su robusto pico. Especie tímida y difícil de observar a pesar de su gran tamaño entre los pinzones.

Su grito estridente es tan icónico que suele emplearse en cine y televisión para doblar las imágenes de cualquier ave rapaz, incluida el águila calva. Estos rapaces adaptables prosperan en paisajes transformados por el ser humano y son una estampa habitual posados junto a las carreteras.
