Today I want to share my observations about an interesting type of small bird from the Genus Parus, which we can still find in several forested areas, city parks, or even around lush home gardens.
This bird from the Genus Parus is known as a tit or wren (depending on the species). The characteristics that are immediately visible are its small body, contrasting fur colors such as black, white, gray, yellow, and sometimes greenish blue, as well as its loud and fast voice. Its behavior is agile and nimble, often seen jumping from one branch to another while looking for small insects or seeds as food.
In my observations, this Parus bird seemed very active in the morning, around 07.00 to 09.00. It is often seen alone or in small groups, sometimes joining other birds in "mixed-species foraging flocks". I also heard several times its distinctive and sharp chirp, which was an indication of its presence among the dense trees.
Their habitat is quite diverse, but they prefer areas with lots of tall trees and bushes. During the mating season, Parus birds usually nest in tree holes or wood gaps, and appear to be very protective of their nesting areas.
NOTE: I first wrote the article above in Indonesian, which is my own language, then I translated it using English with the help of Goggle.
