Giliell, I feel that way about Black-capped Chickadees, even though they don’t have the bright colours of tits. People can get so used to seeing they fail to look.
Yes, I think they’re in the same family somewhere, they look so similar. The Chickadees have a very recognizable song and call, and I love hearing them.
That is a lot of stink-eye in one little bird. I bet I would get even more stink-eye, though, if I scritched its little head and called it cute in a baby voice. It’s still a dinosaur…

Looks a bit like Darth Vader.

@chigau: LOL. “Luuuke…. you are my chick….”
It does look like a costume, almost, the markings are so precise.
Giliell, professional cynic -Ilk- says
I think the sheer beauty of tits is often overlooked because they’re so common.
You can quote me on that.
Charly says
I will always appreciate the beauty of great tits.
You can quote me on that too.
