Blue tits
The Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) is a small, blue, yellow and white non-migratory songbird indigenous to temperate parts of subarctic Europe and Asia. Its habitat is deciduous woodlands, where it can be heard singing from February through June.The Blue Tit was originally believed to be a variant of the Titmouse, but recent analysis has determined the two are only distantly related.One unusual story about the Blue Tit is how they exploited their ability to learn from observation by teaching one another how to open the foil lids on British milk bottles in the early 1960s. Back then, bottled milk was delivered by a milkman and placed outside a customer's back door, providing the agile birds easy access. After peeling off the lids, the Blue Tits would feed on the heavy cream that had risen to the top of the bottle.To see a picture of the Blue Tit, click the link under Related Links, below.
