The Tufted Titmouse is a little songbird found throughout the eastern half of the United States. These birds have large black eyes, a small stout bill, grey upperparts and white under parts with a white face, a grey crest and a dark forehead. They also have rusty or peach colored flanks.
This bird nests in tree holes, sometimes a natural cavity or even an old woodpecker nest. Adding nesting boxes to your backyard is a good way to attract breeding titmice. They line their nest with soft materials including a shed snake skin, and have even been known to pluck hair from a live animal such as a dog. Sometimes, a bird born the previous year will remain in the nest to help its parents raise the next year’s young. A pair of titmice will remain together and defend their territory year-round. Their habitat is in woodlands with both deciduous and evergreen trees as well as gardens, parks and backyards.
Tufted Titmice often flock with chickadees, nuthatches, and woodpeckers and are regular visitors to feeders. They tend to be curious about humans and sometimes will be spotted on a window sill peeking in to see what’s going on inside. Titmice are more shy at bird feeders where their normal pattern is to scout the feeder from the cover of trees or bushes, fly to the feeder, take a seed, and fly back to cover to eat it cracking it with sharp whacks of its stout bill. Titmice forage actively on branches, sometimes on the ground, mainly eating insects, especially caterpillars, but also enjoy nuts, seeds and berries. They have been known to store their food for later.
A tufted titmouse makes a variety of different sounds, mostly having a similar tone quality, but their song is a high, whistled peter-peter-peter.
Stop by Boyert's for feeders and seeds to attract these delightful birds to your backyard.
