Birdorable Long-tailed Tits flocking together

The new Birdorable Long-tailed Tit may be one of the cutest Birdorables yet! The Long-tailed Tit is a small perching bird found in Europe and Asia, easily recognized by its remarkably long tail, which is more than half of its total body length. These birds are known for their tiny size, fluffy appearance, and sociable nature, often seen in small, lively flocks.

Our Birdorable version of the Long-tailed Tit perfectly captures its adorably distinctive features, making it a delightful addition to any bird lover's collection.

There is a family called Aegithalidae (Long-tailed Tits). It has 11 species in this family. Even the Long-tailed Tit. Only one member of the Aegithalidae family. The Long-tailed Tit. Birdorable, you need to add the rest of the 10 Long-tailed Tits to the 'Meet the Birds' page. Species, such as the White-browed Tit-Warbler, Crested Tit-Warbler, Long-tailed Tit (Already in the page), Silver-throated Tit, White-cheeked Tit, Pygmy Tit, Black-throated Tit, White-throated Tit, Black-browed Tit, Sooty Tit, and the Bushtit. Birdorable, you should have a week called 'Aegithalidae Week' which adds the rest of the Long-tailed Tit species. Good luck!
