Voxpop request: Panurus biarmicus is the sole member of the family Panuridae, AviList uses Bearded Reedling (in use since the 19th century) as the English vernacular, BOURC maintains Bearded Tit even though they are more closely related to larks. Should we change the name? #Ornithology #UKBirding 🪶

The Picture of the Day of Wednesday 7 January 2026 on @wikipedia.org is: Black-capped chickadee.

Credits: Rhododendrites.
Picture of the day archives: 2026 January < 2026 January 6 2026 January 8 > Picture of the day The black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) is a small, nonmigratory passerine bird in the tit family, Paridae. The species is native to North America, ranging from the northern United States to southern Canada and all the way up to Alaska and Yukon, living in deciduous and mixed forests. It has a distinct black cap on its head, a black bib underneath, and white cheeks. The black-capped chickadee has a white belly, buff sides, and grey wings, back, and tail. It is well known for its vocalizations, including its fee-bee song and its chick-a-dee-dee-dee call, from which it derives its name. The black-capped chickadee feeds primarily on insects and seeds, and is known for its ability to cache food for use during the winter. Its hippocampus grows during the caching season, and is believed to help it better remember its cache locations. It builds nests in tree cavities, with the nesting season starting in late April and lasting until late June. This foraging black-capped chickadee was photographed in Central Park, New York Type: city.photograph. Credits: : Rhododendrites.

just read today that the Paridae are "amongst the most intelligent of all birds" (after Corvids & Parrots). Black-capped chickadees are regulars in my garden, their antics an endless source of entertainment. But birds of lesser brain are entertaining, too.

#Birds #Paridae #BlackCappedChickadee Rob at @robcrank68.bsky.social has chosen the #BlueGreatCoal (any of the Tit Bird Species) as today's #BirdOfTheDay Alternative. From late June, this fledgling Chickadee is soaking up some sun in a Saskatoon bush (Amelanchier alnifolia), waiting for a feeding.
A grey & white bird with a black cap, black bib & white cheek patch, rests in the sun on a slender branch against a beige background.

The brown trunk of the tree and more brown branches and green pine needles are in the background. Seen during the winter at Ipswich River W.S. in Topsfield, Massachusetts.

Zwerm pimpelmezen in de tuin (Eurasian Blue Tit, Cyanistes caeruleus) #paridae #aves #vogels #mezen

birdlife.at
🤯 Wusstest du, dass die Schwanzmeise gar keine "echte" Meise ist? Denn die Schwanzmeise gehört nicht zur Familie der Meisen (Paridae), sondern zu jener der Schwanzmeisen (Aegithalidae), von denen es weltweit nur 15 Arten gibt 😮

🐦 Mit diesen Maßnahmen bereitest du der Schwanzmeise eine große Freude:
Das 23. Türchen des BirdLife-Adventkalenders zeigt eine Schwanzmeise sowie mehrere für Schwanzmeisen relevante Elemente: a. Meisenknödelgitter b. Beeren (Pfaffenhütchen) c. Meisenknödel d. Insekten e. Fettblock f. Nadelbäume g. Nadelbaumsamen Der Hintergrund ist hellblau, mit dezenten Licht- und Schneeeffekten. Links unten befindet sich das Logo von BirdLife Österreich.
