✔️The long-tailed tit or long-tailed bushtit (Aegithalos caudatus)

In general, this wonderful bird does not genetically belong to the Paridae family, but out of habit it is called a tit. They were singled out into their own family - Aegithalidae. I think they used to be called and referred to as tits for the fact that they were often near them. The mixed flock is full of different Paridae birds.
Unfortunately, their small beaks do not allow them to crush large seeds in order to eat small pieces later, so they have to look for small seeds of trees, such as birch, as well as the remains of other birds. Of course, they feed on insects too, but in winter, when there are no insects, they have a hard time.
