Great Tit Hatchling
Parus major (hatchling)
A Great Tit Hatchling is a tiny, nest-bound chick raised in a moss-lined tree cavity, nest box, or wall hole in woodland, parks, and gardens. It is mostly helpless at first, relying on warmth from the parents and loud begging calls to receive food. Its diet is delivered by adults and consists mainly of soft insects, caterpillars, and spiders. One notable feature is how rapidly it grows feathers, changing from a bare chick into a mobile nestling within only a couple of weeks.
