Japanese Tit
Parus minor
The adult Japanese tit is a small woodland and garden bird found across Japan and parts of East Asia, often using tree cavities or nest boxes for breeding. It feeds on insects, spiders, seeds, and nuts, moving quickly through branches and sometimes hanging upside down while foraging. Adults defend nest sites with sharp calls, pecks, and close passes at intruders. A notable fact is its sophisticated call system, with different notes combined in ways that can signal specific dangers.
