A small, colourful bird with blue, yellow, and green feathers.

Seasonal Behaviour:

Spring is nest-building time! Blue tits look for a small hole, like a bird box or a crack in a tree, and fill it with soft materials like moss, wool, and feathers. They get it ready for the female to lay her eggs and raise her chicks.

💡 Fun Facts

  • Blue tits can lay up to 12 eggs at once, which is a lot for such a tiny bird!
  • They are very acrobatic and love to hang upside down on bird feeders.
  • Their bright feathers can even see colours that humans can't (called ultraviolet light), which helps them find a partner.
