Winter birds in the forest tits, woodpeckers and his entourage.

Look in the nearest grove: there are many birds. Look under the tree small crosses tiny bird tracks. Three toes forward and one backward. On the sides of two thin lines. It stressed the bird wings when taking off. A minute later the tree is heard: Chi-phi, chi-fi. Over there, on the bank, a couple of birds: they have latched on to a hanging twig, one even upside down. Boiko, they jump from one bitch to another. This is a great tits. "They spotted us and waved a hurried flight departures. But if you stop and not move tits quickly calm down. Maybe in a few minutes even return to the same tree. What a restless bird! Not a minute will not sit. All movements of violently and fast. You never know what they will do in the next second. But what they can find in these branches of birch? Summer tits mainly eat insects, winter pick up any seed which will fall. But not for nothing they dart about on the branches. Here and there they find something stuck to the branches of the testicles which a butterfly, the caterpillar torpid in the fracture of the cortex, the doll attached to the spider bitch. Hurriedly dart tits in the trees, producing a very keen examination and the most thorough cleaning of the trunks and branches of overwintering insects here, including many pests. Need to say straight: tits are doing in the forest is vast and useful work. Because one day they have time to visit the hundreds and perhaps thousands of branches. One day eat a lot of tits wintering eggs, pupae and larvae. They manage to even peck the eggs of ringed moth, which are so firmly glued to the bark, that no other of the little birds can not separate them from the branches. In fact, the great tit is omnivorous. She feeds and plant and animal food. Maybe there is meat, if you give, and especially loves bacon. In the cell, where it sits, can be hung on a thread a piece of bacon, and she eagerly starts plucking it from all sides. Tit is much smaller and not as strong as the great tit. It is ash-gray above, with bluish-black head and white spots on the sides of the neck. Moskovka, like other tits, fly in flocks and often with other species of tits: the blue tits, crested tits. Adjacent to the tits and nuthatches can be found. Unlike woodpeckers, they can move through the tree bark is not only up, but upside down. They hurriedly go through the trees, looking at them petrified of larvae and pupae and picking up tree seeds. Often with tits and pied fly-pika cricket. She deftly climbs upward on tree trunks, running thin, slightly curved beak into the cracks and holes of the cortex.
