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

• Aegithalos (Greek): tit
• caudatus (lat.): tailed

These cutest birds are called "ladle" by us because of their external resemblance to this kitchen appliance. And in general, I don’t understand why in other languages ​​this bird is called “tit”, because it has long been proven that genetically they are not related to them.

They are found everywhere, and at any time of the year. In the summer, of course, it is more difficult to meet them, but in the fall they wander through the forests in small family flocks consisting of parents, children, and possibly close friends who helped them. And they also willingly join other birds in a mixed flock.
