Things you need to know about BLUE TITS!

[@thomaskositzki9424]

All wings on deck! 🥰😄 Blue Tits are my most favourite birds around home, they are just so cute.

[@ginettechiverton7113]

It always amazes me how such a small bird lays so many eggs.I love them.🥰

[@888ssss]

i say the same about council estate girls

[@Midlander1956]

I’m 66 years old, and have only now started learning about birds (shame on me). I’ve really enjoyed getting to know all about these lovely creatures who I feed regularly . Thanks for these easy-to-watch videos….

[@lesleywood788]

I agree; easy yo watch, informative and enjoyable.

[@aTomallic]

I feel the same though I am a bit younger at 17 lol. I just get bored on rides through my town and there are only a handful of bird species so I just tried to start naming them.

[@Doorito_]

try to film them, it could become a good passive hobby that you could show others

[@6panel300]

They have got to be one of my favourite birds.

[@bigbywolf586]

I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying your content, KZbin definitely needs more content creators such as yourself. As a child I used to spend hours with my grandfather in his garden, listening to him tell me all about the wonderful and varied wildlife that paid a visit to the garden at different times of the year, and these are some of my most cherished memories so watching your videos brings wonderful sense of nostalgia, thank you so much 🙏

[@tun1to]

This bird bring so much joy to my life, i really miss them when they don't visit in particular days... these lil birds are full of character

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

As an American I am interested in birds around the world though I'll never get to most of those places. The Blue tit is one of my favorite European songbirds.

[@lindsayclubb]

I just love Liam's enthusiasm. Listen to his videos and one learns a lot. Great fun.

[@RamboZabikuch]

I feed them all year long. Them and sparrows. It's such a joy to see those little creatures coming to my window while I'm having a breakfast. And listening to them singing (🎵guys there's a food. Come there's food 🎵) 😂 love them

[@patriciadavey6895]

Got two of them nesting in a box on our house wall here in sunny Charente. In every hour of daylight they are in and out feeding the young. Each year they return. Lovely to see them. Recently we saw a group of ten bee eaters. They hung around for an hour. Never seen them in our lives. So highly coloured.

[@doreenwatson-read]

this is great, we have a garden planted up with trees purely for wildlife and we have loads of little bluetits visit and nest in our garden. we have a large flat-roofed shed which collects water puddles and moss from the house, on there we get all manner of birds coming for a bath and forage through the moss piles. It's fun to watch them play from the bedroom window.

I have them nesting in my bird box in my back garden love watching them Alec from Scotland

[@poppybean7807]

Wow amazing little feather friends

[@spritzpistol]

We are lucky enough, this year, to have them nesting in our garden. The nesting box in question has only been up 4 years, but it takes time😂. I’ve a wildlife camera, but I’m afraid of disturbing them, so thats a job for the winter. We are lucky to have sparrows nesting in a gap in the eaves (which is weird as we had our house completely renovated but I’m glad they found the hole) and in the hedges, blackbirds and robins, all different tits, (including long tailed), finches, etc, including the obligatory pigeons and seagulls popping in for snacks, in fact all different families use our feeding stations and there’s never any squalling😂. We love all birds, but having the blue tits nest feels like we have achieved a great balance in our garden. 🎉. Thanks for all the info Liam, we love your channel!

I'm old enough to remember watching Blue Tits tear the foil tops off milk bottles and drink the cream. I would watch them through our letterbox and was thus quite close.

I wonder how long they would take to relearn it if we started to use foil lid bottles again.

[@sandramann780]

Hi I have just turned part of my garden to encourage wildlife particularly birds, I put out meal worms, seeds, fastballs and raisins. This has brought a pair of Robins, a Blue Tit, 2pairs of Doves, and wood pigions also starlings and can be between 10/20 at a time

[@AShotOfWildlife]

That sounds great. Its amazing how much wildlife a garden can support when you provide for them.

[@MC-in8mc]

@Sandra Mann Thanks I'll follow your example and see if I'm as lucky as you😁😂 lol.😆

[@ag_hunnigan]

Loved the video! ❤ I recently set up a nesting box for small birds in my yard. A paire of Blue Tits was interested as well as a paire of Great Tits. Yesterday I wittnessed them fighting over it, with the Blue Tits fiercely defending their territory. I decided to set up another box asap. Hopefully this will settle the matter.

[@j.harbottle8928]

A very enjoyable series Liam. When I was delivering milk in the late 70s, there was one street on the edge of town (Bishopstoke, Hants) where many of the people left plastic caps out for me to put over the tops of the bottles to stop the blue tits.

[@ljo642]

I thought we all used to do that! When bluetits began pecking off milk-bottle tops, it started in the south of England, and, strangely, birds as far away as Scotland began doing the same thing at exactly the same time! (Or so I read.)

So pleased to have found this cos I have a blue tit nesting in the meter cupboard.

They fledged and the adults have not yet rebuilt the nest which is kind messy after they grew lol

This is my favourite video so far - because the blue tit is my favourite garden bird. We see very few around our garden unfortunately, but this year we have a new camera nest box, with a blue tit sized hole, in the hopes we will see a family being raised in there. It has only happened once before, In an old nest box, and that must have been about 10 yrs ago! So we are keeping our fingers crossed. Loved all the facts about them. And the footage was gorgeous. There is something about blue tits and blossom - they just go together so well!

[@ljo642]

Odd, isn't it? There have been over 66,000 views yet under 3,000 have given this excellent video an up-vote! I wonder why people can't be bothered? Don't they know how important it is to show approval?

[@lordgarion514]

But it's ALSO just as important to not upvote literally every video. The algorithm shows those vids with more votes more often. If everyone clicked on every video, it would be the same as not clicking. You should only click vids that go above and beyond the average. Otherwise, all you do is raise where the average is. Meaning a channel needs even more clicks to stand out.....

[@rosethorne9076]
