The Blue Tit is a small bird found in Europe and parts of Asia. It has bright blue and yellow feathers, making it easy to recognize. Adults have a blue crown, wings, and tail, with a yellow underside and a white face patch divided by a black line.

These birds live in woodlands, parks, and gardens, where they look for food. They eat insects, seeds, and berries. During breeding, they often hang upside down to reach food. Blue Tits are smart and adaptable, using tools like pebbles to help them find food. They communicate with unique calls, especially when mating.

Outside of breeding season, Blue Tits form flocks, which helps them find food and stay safe from predators. They are beneficial in gardens, helping to control insect populations. Overall, the Blue Tit is a delightful and valuable part of its ecosystem.
