About These Birds
Great Tit
The great tit is the largest European tit and one of the most studied wild birds in the world. Research at Wytham Woods in Oxford has monitored great tit populations since the 1940s, contributing enormously to ecology and evolution. These innovative birds famously learned to open milk bottle tops in 20th-century Britain.
Black-capped Chickadee
The Black-capped Chickadee is one of North America's most beloved small birds, with its distinctive black cap and bib, white cheeks, and soft grey and buffy plumage. It inhabits deciduous and mixed forests, gardens, and suburban areas across northern North America from Alaska to Newfoundland and south through the Appalachians. It feeds on seeds, insects, and berries, and is well known for caching food for winter.
