The Great Tit is a common bird you'll find in gardens across the UK. It's easy to spot with its black head, white cheeks, and yellow belly. These little birds are about the size of a sparrow but a bit chunkier. They're not fussy eaters and will munch on insects, seeds, and nuts. You'll often see them at bird feeders, especially in winter.<br />Great Tits are clever birds. They've been known to figure out how to open milk bottle tops to get at the cream inside! They're also quite chatty, with a wide range of calls. Their most famous one sounds a bit like "teacher, teacher".<br />These birds nest in holes in trees or walls, but they're happy to use nest boxes too. The female lays around 7 to 9 eggs and both parents help to raise the chicks. Great Tits can live for up to 15 years, which is quite long for a small bird.<br /><br />Learn more: https://binocularbase.com/bird/great-tit/
