About These Birds
African Blue Tit
The African Blue Tit is a small tit weighing about 11g found in the Canary Islands and North Africa. It inhabits woodland and gardens, feeding on insects and seeds much like the Eurasian Blue Tit.
Black-bibbed Tit
The Black-bibbed Tit is a small, chickadee-like passerine of highland forests in southwestern China and adjacent Myanmar, distinguished by its prominent black bib and cap contrasting with white cheeks and buffy flanks. It inhabits mixed coniferous and broadleaf forests at medium to high elevations. It feeds on insects, seeds, and berries, often foraging in mixed-species flocks in winter.
