That Bearded Tit is gorgeous! Is it a small bird?

I've been doing a bit of checking on the Bearded Tit which is actually not a true Tit bird. It is about Sparrow size and is rare in the UK. It lives among the reeds and eat reed seeds in winter and aphids off the reeds and top of the water in summer. It actually weighs less then our Gouldian finches at only 15grams although I believe it is a fair bit larger.

Ray, what kind of environment are you going to provide for this beautiful bird. I'd love to have one but I cannot provide the right environment. I certainly wish you the best with this bird as I think it is truely stunning in appearance

the other couple is in english ; Black-headed Siskin (Carduelis notata)

saturday morning i am gonna pick the bearded tit up , Liz had a good question and good internet checking on them ..... ok i am gonna put them in the aviary with the rest of my birds , have to redecorate something ( new plants and reed ) , foodwise it stays the same like i do now so thats not a problem , and babies well

... knowing me i'll manage ( u can start a bid )

Sally ...how big the are , well see the pic

That bird is awesome! It can get along with finches? I'm totally shocked.

They are certainly going to be beautiful additions to your aviary

Your aviary should provide a wonderful setting for this bird--yes, you can auction off the babies!
