Tufted Titmouse | The Real-life Disney Bird

***CORRECTION at 2:13 - it should be 0.6 -0.9 oz***
The real-life Disney bird, as if a drawing but here in real life. Bearing all the key elements required, a dainty bird, with big cute eyes, charming crest, and pretty coloration.

Tufted, refers to the crest on their head and titmouse comes from the old English words, “tit” and “mase”. Meaning a small bird. Mase became obsolete and replaced with ‘mouse’ a familiar word that described their quick movements, much like a small rodent.

The Tufted Titmouse measures 5 and a half to 6 and a half inches and weighs roughly 6-9 ounces. They have large heads, thick necks, and are full-bodied. Their back has a pretty silvery gray color and their belly is white. Some individuals have a vibrant peach or rust color on the flanks. Giving them a snub nose look is a noticeable black patch just above the bill. When it comes to males and females, their plumage is the same so it is hard to distinguish between the two. The only slight difference is their size with males being just a little bit larger.

Belonging to the Paridae family the Tufted titmouse is a regular feeder visitor, for people in the Eastern United States. They are easy to attract to a feeder by offering their favorite foods. Such as mealworms, sunflower seeds suet and peanuts
