A tit is a omnivore. Okay well this is from wikipedia:

"The tits are generalist insectivores that consume a wide range of small insects and other invertebrates, particularly small defoliating caterpillars. They also consume seeds and nuts, particularly in the winter. "

OK so I guess eating insect flesh doesn't count as being a carnivore. Insect eating quite controversially gets its own category.

And because they eat seeds and hence have more than one aspect to their diets, I guess they're omnivores... Hang on, a quick double check on Google of what counts as an omnivore has led me to discover that you need to be a combination of carnivore and herbivore (something that eats vegetables and agriculture.) Hmm, I would argue that a tit is a dualvore, as they split their diets between insects and nuts. I invented this classification, you can use it.

Also on wikipedia, tits "can... open hazelnuts in around 20 minutes." Far out... took me like half an hour to open one recently, does that make me less of a man?
