### Video Description
This YouTube video titled **“Hýl obecný”** (Czech for *Common Bullfinch*) was uploaded by **Michal Jakubek** on March 13, 2019. It has gained over **893,000 views** and around **22,000 likes**. There is no official description, but from the content and the comments it is clear that this is a short clip showing a **round, fluffy bullfinch** eating right after “waking up” from what looks like hibernation — although **bullfinches do not truly hibernate**, the bird appears sleepy and exhausted.
The bird is filmed in close-up and looks like a perfect sphere — users in the comments call it a **“borb”** (#borb, from *bird + orb*), praising its **cuteness**, **carefree attitude**, and even its **“legendary”** status. Some viewers suggest the bird might be **ill** (#avianflu), since it barely moves, has a dirty beak, and shows little self-preservation instinct. The comments are multilingual (#English, #Czech, #Russian, #German), and the video went **viral** thanks to the bird’s comical appearance (#viralvideo, #cuteanimals).
### Bird Description: Common Bullfinch (*Pyrrhula pyrrhula*)
The **Common Bullfinch** is a small finch found across **Europe**, **Asia**, and parts of **Ukraine** (#ornithology, #EuropeanBirds, #UkrainianWildlife), inhabiting forests, parks, and gardens. Key features include:
* **Size**: Body length **17–19 cm**, wingspan about **27 cm**, weight around **25 g** (#smallbirds).
* **Appearance**: A stocky, rounded body with a short, powerful beak. The male has a bright red belly and cheeks, a gray back, a black cap, and white wing and tail markings; the female is duller, pinkish-gray (#birdphotography, #bullfinch).
* **Behavior**: A quiet, trusting bird that lives in forests and often moves closer to human settlements in winter, visiting feeders (#winterbirds, #birdfeeding). Feeds on seeds, buds, and berries; its call is soft and melodic (#birdsong).
* **Trivia**: In Czech, *“hýl”* can imply naivety, as the bird is easy to catch (#etymology). In Ukraine, bullfinches are strongly associated with **winter**, standing out vividly against the snow (#winternature).
Here are a few images of bullfinches for visual reference — especially **plump individuals** similar to the one in the video (#fluffy, #roundbirds).
