About These Birds

Kohlmeise

Die Kohlmeise ist die größte europäische Meisenart und einer der am besten erforschten Wildvögel der Welt. Studien im Wytham Wood bei Oxford verfolgen die Kohlmeisenpopulation bereits seit den 1940er-Jahren und haben enorm zur Ökologie- und Evolutionsforschung beigetragen. Berühmt wurde die einfallsreiche Kohlmeise dafür, dass sie im Großbritannien des 20. Jahrhunderts lernte, Milchflaschendeckel zu öffnen.

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.
