The blue tit and the great tit are examples of sedentary birds. This means that they live in the same area throughout the year. During the spring, the tits hunt for insect larvae, which they feed to their offspring. During the winter, the tits mostly eat nuts. Because of this, they are regular visitors at the birdfeeder.

Like its name suggests, the blue tit has a blue head and back. It thrives in broadleaf forests, which is why it can also often be found in parks. Park trees offer the great tit shelter, food and nesting places.

During the spring, the great tit begins singing its easily recognizable song. By singing, the male tit attempts to attract a female tit to reproduce. The blue tit builds its nest in a hole, which can be found in a tree or in a nesting box. In May, the female blue tit can lay up to 14 eggs. 

Like its name suggests, the great tit is larger than the blue tit. It is easily recognizable by its black and white head and its yellow and black belly.
