Description
The rufous-vented tit (Periparus rubidiventris) is an Asian songbird species in the tit and chickadee family (Paridae). Some of its subspecies were formerly assigned to its western relative the rufous-naped tit (P. rufonuchalis), or these two were considered entirely conspecific.

Feeding Habits
The rufous-vented Tit feeds on small invertebrates, larvae, and seeds. Rufous-vented Tit forages primarily in the canopy and upper levels of forests, but also explores lower levels and undergrowth. This bird is often seen foraging in pairs or groups up to 20 and may join mixed-species flocks.
Habitat
The habitat of rufous-vented Tit spans primarily across diverse forest ecosystems which include deciduous forests dominated by oak, mixed broadleaf woodlands, and coniferous forests comprising pine, hemlock, cypress, and fir. It also inhabits areas with a dense understory of rhododendron, birch, juniper, and dwarf willow. Favoring mature forests, rufous-vented Tit is also known to visit high-altitude rhododendron groves and adjacent treeless scrubs. Outside the breeding season, it can be found in temperate oak forests at lower altitudes, though it often remains at higher forested elevations throughout the winter.

Distribution Area
This tit is a native of the western Himalayas, but has a very large range, occurring in parts of Bhutan, China, Pakistan, India, Myanmar and Nepal. Its natural habitats are boreal forests and temperate forests. In Bhutan for example, P. r. beavani is a rather common all-year resident in moist Bhutan fir (Abies densa) forests, between approximately 3,000 and 4,000 meters ASL. Widespread and by no means rare, it is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.
