I did not even know that titmouse are different!
You know this bird well, and often met it in the city, in the winter. Why only in the winter? Because it is a FOREST bird. They live in the forest, feed on insects. And in winter, when there are no insects, no different kidneys and fruits on the trees, and they have nothing to eat, they fly in search of food closer to people. Feed them, help survive the winter!
Poecile is a genus of bird in the tit family.
It differs from all the usual big titmouse with its gray color, as well as its slightly more rounded shape.
Lives only in the forest, although sometimes you can see in the city, apparently flies to visit :) or because of curiosity. I do not know why, but I really like them! They are funny.
The long-tailed tit or long-tailed bushtit (Aegithalos caudatus)
I would never have thought it was a titmouse! I could hardly catch this restless beauty! She is very cowardly, and constantly on the move! It's hard to notice, because she has a very weak and quiet voice, they are barely audible squeak. Usually fly a small flock of 3-4 birds.
In Russian, it has one more name - a Ladle. Because of its characteristic external resemblance to the scoop.
