🦉 The coal tit or cole tit (Periparus ater)

• Peri (Greek) very, hugely
• Parus (lat.) Tit
• ater (lat.) black, dark

These mobile birds live mainly in coniferous forests. Which, as I suppose, is what caused their behavior to stay high in the upper tier of the forest. It happens that these birds live in mixed forests, as they actually do in my city, although in small numbers. With the onset of spring, the birds begin the mating season, the males actively sing while sitting on branches.

They eat almost the same as other birds of this family. Insects, seeds of trees, mainly conifers. If there is an excess of food, they make reserves high in the crowns of trees.
