Description
The eurasian Blue Tit is a small songbird, very common in urban areas such as parks. This songbird has a wide range of calls and songs, but it's also known for its agility and acrobatic skills - it can hang upside down, reaching food that's not accessible to less-skilled birds. When the bird has young, it spends around 17 hours per day in the search of food for the offspring. It's a frequent visitor of bird feeders.

Feeding Habits
Eurasian Blue Tit's diet includes pests, tree buds, seeds, and Lepidoptera like the Wood Tiger moth. During scarcity, eurasian Blue Tit forages tree buds for insects. Adapted to urban environments, eurasian Blue Tit can also digest milk and cream.
Habitat
Eurasian Blue Tit primarily inhabits a variety of woodland environments, favoring deciduous and broadleaf evergreen forests rich in oak and birch. This species adapts well to suburban and urban areas, including gardens and parks. Although it generally avoids large coniferous forests, eurasian Blue Tit may be found in such settings outside the breeding season, often in mixed-species flocks. In regions with a Mediterranean climate, eurasian Blue Tit can be found in high-altitude pine and oak woodlands, cedar forests, and montane areas. Arid and semi-arid habitats with riverine woodlands and oases also support eurasian Blue Tit populations. Its habitat range extends from sea level to mountainous regions, reaching elevations up to 3500 meters in the Caucasus and at least 2040 meters in Southwestern Iran.

Behavior
Eurasian blue and great tits form mixed winter flocks, and the former are perhaps the better gymnasts in the slender twigs. A Eurasian blue tit will often ascend a trunk in short jerky hops, imitating a treecreeper. As a rule the bird roosts in ivy or evergreens, but in harsh winters will nest wherever there is a suitable small hole, be it in a tree or nesting box. 
Distribution Area
The Eurasian blue tit and the related hybrids are considered native species in areas of the European continent with a mainly temperate or Mediterranean climate, and in parts of the Middle East. These areas include Ireland, the United Kingdom and most of the European Union and EFTA.
Species Status
The Eurasian blue tit is classified as a least concern species on the IUCN Red List (version 3.1), and as a Green Status species, since 1996, by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds in the United Kingdom.
