Cinerous Tit
Name: Cinereous tit
Scientific Name: Parus cinereus
Family : Paridae
The Cinereous Tit (Parus cinereus) is a species of bird in the tit family Paridae. This species is made up of several populations that were earlier treated as subspecies of the great tit (Parus major). These birds are grey backed with white undersides.Like others in the genus, it has a broad black ventral line and has no crest.
These birds are usually seen in pairs or small groups.They forage mainly by gleaning, capturing insects (mainly caterpillars, bugs and beetles) that are disturbed and will also feeding on buds and fruits. They sometimes use their feet to hold insects which are then torn with their beak. They may also wedge hard seeds in a bark crevice before hammering them with their beak
The nests are placed in hollows in trees or in a wall or mud-bank with a narrow entrance hole and the floor of the cavity is lined with moss, hair and feathers. They sometimes make use of the old nest of a Woodpecker or Barbet
