THE TUFTED TITMOUSE BIRD

Recently I just realized some of those cute birds hanging out there, one of them is 'Tufted Titmouse' they're adorable! I can't bear but to search some infomation about this cute little tufted bird. The tufted titmouse is a small adorable tufted songbird from North America, 

So, you may want to ask me what is it's species. I will tell you that they're a species in a tit and chickadee family (Paridae). The black crested titmouse, found from central and southern Texas southward, was included as subspecies, but now considered as separate species, (Baeolophus atricristatus)

The tufted titmouse gathers food from the ground and from tree branches. It eats berries, nuts, insects , small fruit, snails, and seeds. Caterpillars constitute a major part of its diet during the summer. Titmice will stash food for later use. The titmouse can demonstrate curiosity regarding humans, and sometimes will perch on window ledge and seem to be peering into the house. It may cling to the windows walls of buildings seeking prey in wasp and hornet nests. It is a regular visitor around bird feeders. Its normal pattern is to scout a feeder from cover, fly in to take a seed, then fly back to cover and eat it.

From 1966 - 2015 the tufted titmouse population has increased by more than 1.5% per year throughout the northeastern U.S., Michigan, and Wisconsin.  The song of the tufted titmouse is usually described as a whistled peter-peter-peter, although this song can vary approximately 20 notable ways. Tufted titmice nest in a hole in a tree, either a natural cavity, a human-made nest box, or sometimes an old woodpecker nest. They line the nest with soft materials, sometimes plucking hair from a live animal such as dog. If they find snake skin sheddings, they may incorporate pieces into their nest. Eggs measure under 1 inch (2.5 centimetres) long and are white or cream-colored with brownish or purplish spots.
