Blue and Great Tits form mixed winter flocks, and the former are perhaps the better gymnasts in the slender twigs. A Blue Tit will often ascend a trunk in short jerky hops, imitating a Treecreeper. As a rule the bird roosts in ivy or evergreens, but in hard weather will shelter in a hole. Blue tits are very agile and can hang from almost anywhere. Many take the Bluetits possesion of "attitude" in abundance as definitive proof of birds being a surviving clade of dinosaurs. Anything that small with that much attitude KNOWS it is a relative of the tyranosaurids.
