ORDEN: Passeriformes FAMILIA: Passeridae .
Ave originaria de Europa, fue traida a América por diversas personas, quizás como ave exótica. Quizás, porque no es un ave de canto melódico ni bellos colores. Introducido en Chile en 1904, se propagó con gran rapidez y fuerza, y en algunos años ya poblaba en abundancia la zona central. Hoy habita en todo el territorio y en islas en donde ha sido llevado. Poco amigo del campo, suele preferir los lugares poblados por el hombre. Su alimentación consiste en insectos durante la época de reproducción, y semillas y granos durante el resto del tiempo.
Bird native to Europe, was brought to America by several people, perhaps as exotic birds. Perhaps because it is a bird of beautiful colors and melodic singing. Introduced in Chile in 1904, it spread with great speed and strength, and in some years and abundantly populated central area. Lives today and throughout the islands where it has been taken. No friend of the field, usually prefer the places populated by man. Their food consists of insects during the breeding season, and seeds and grains during the rest of the time.

I like how they are using their tail feathers as props. It is similar to a woodpecker. Nice shots.
