The Crested Tit is a small songbird in the tit family, related to titmice, chickadees, and other tits. It is found in various forest-type habitats throughout Europe. It is also known as the European Crested Tit, to distinguish it from the Grey Crested Tit found in Asia.
Crested Tits are resident birds through their range; they do not migrate. They are cavity nesters and use rotting tree stumps to excavate nest holes. Their population trend is considered to be stable and they have a conservation status of Least Concern as of June 2013.
