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

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

Very soon you will be able to hear the quiet, dry trills of these cute birds in the forests. At this time, they move through the forests in their family flocks, consisting of family members and their close friends. These small flocks also join other flocks consisting of different species of birds, into one common mixed flock.

As I have said many times, these birds have their own hierarchy, which I think is based on some kind of social ranking. Birds sleep tightly pressed against each other on one branch. And the higher the rank, the closer to the middle the bird is located so as not to freeze.
