Piotr Walicki 📸 🦅In case if you wondered if birds yawn, here's a #portrait of a yawning wood pigeon (Columba palumbus, 🇩🇪 Ringeltaube, 🇵🇱 grzywacz) for you.

muıııo@zvrt I'm now interested in the name, because in Bulgarian it's гривяк (grivyak) and it's very obviously related to the Polish 🤔
@muiiio The names in all Western and Southern Slavic languages are indeed related to indicate the distinctive white "mane". However, they are not related in Russian (вяхирь) or Ukrainian (припутень).
@muiiio You can check https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/cowpig1/cur/introduction to find out about the names in different languages
