In the USSR they are known south of the line Arkhangel’sk-Yakutsk; they are numerous only in agricultural regions.

The birds nest in colonies in high trees. They are very useful in destroying various pest insects, but during crop sowing they may harm sowings of grain, grape, and vegetable crops, because they peck out the seeds and shoots.
