What fun it is to watch these birds. They quickly crawl along the tree in any direction, it is especially amusing when they move upside down.

In autumn, they can often be seen near the feeders. And in parks, they are even easily tamed and can beg for treats from people on their own.
They are quite arrogant, and when they see a group of birds at the feeder, they do not wait for their turn, but fly in there, pushing everyone aside and stuffing their beaks with food, which they then hide in secluded places.
