Passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a very easy to recognize tit, with a conspicuous crest, with the tip recurved. Its birdsong is similar to other tits, with a constant zee, zee, zee. It nests on fallen trunks. It feeds on insects and seeds. During winter it joins other tits to form bigger flocks.
