I like the German bird names much better than the goofy english ones. Blaumeise is just poetic.
I'm disappointed to the max

Very strange photo. Doesn’t look like any type of titmouse I know and the original photo being from britannica.com has it as a blue tit, which isn’t technically a type of titmouse, but the color doesn’t match that image. It seems like the photo they used to put at the top of the article is some sort of composite.

It’s actually a great tit. They look very similar though.

I can only tell the difference when I see the two together!

Disappointing isn’t it!

“Tit” and “mouse” in English both come from words that mean “small”. “Titmouse” is “smallsmall”.

So when I search pictures I search for bigsmall…

The great tit is even more unsatisfying

Honestly one of my favorite birds, though. They’re just adorable.

They are like finches, but more colorful

The less colorful tufted variety common around here are actually my favorites.

Also one of the only birds that exists in wintertime. Everyone else flies south here
