🦉 The long-tailed tit or long-tailed bushtit (Aegithalos caudatus)

📚 Aegithalos (Greek): tit
📚 caudatus (lat.): tailed

These friendly charmers are difficult to meet in the summer in the forests. They are busy with their household chores, namely the construction of nests, and then nestlings. And only in the middle or end of July, when the children have grown up, you can meet their families.

Young teenagers with dark red spots on their heads follow their parents everywhere, who teach them survival skills.
After a few months, their baby plumage will disappear and they will become as cute as their parents. They will also get acquainted closely with other species of birds from the mixed bird flock, in which they will participate from autumn to spring.
