Description:

The Cinereous Tit (Parus cinereus) is a species of bird in the tit family Paridae. This species is made up of several populations that were earlier treated as subspecies of the Great Tit (Parus major). These birds are grey backed with white undersides. The Great Tit in the new sense is distinguishable by the greenish-back and yellowish underside.This distribution of this species extends from parts of West Asia across South Asia and into Southeast Asia.

Habitat:

The Tit has adapted well to human changes in the environment and is a common and familiar bird in urban parks and gardens. This bird is also an important study species in ornithology.

Notes:

It is predominantly insectivorous in the summer, but will consume a wider range of food items in the winter months, including small hibernating bats.
