Feel free, kat.

Anything I post on Mudcat is free to anybody, as far as I'm concerned; all I ask is that appropriate acknowledgement (to both Mudcat and myself) is given when it is used.

And I'm sorry I couldn't contribute anything useful about CryBaby in response to your request; I'd never even heard of it.

The word "flock" is inadequate for evoking their nervous energy. "Swarm" almost gets it but that word implies a larger number. "Mob" implies a threat but there's nothing threatening about these teeny, plain-looking little birds so easily identified by their very long tails and very short beaks.

Yet another example of different cultures having different connotations to the one word.

In Oz, "mob" doesn't usually carry the sense of threat implied in Kat's piece, especially away from cities. It's the collective noun for a bunch of macropods, particularly kangaroos, and older bush-bred Aborigines are likely to use it for any number (of anything) that is greater than 5. A much larger number of things in one or more groups is likely to be described as "big mobs", even by Balandas in the Top End.

Personally, I reckon I'd like to see Liz' tits in big mobs.

Only in American could we have something called the "Bushtit," I kid you not!

Check it out: clickety. Here's the info on it, from This Guy's Newsletter:


"Crowd" doesn't sound right for a gathering of birds
but it's the best one I can think of to describe a
bunch of foraging Bushtits. Nearly always Bushtits are
seen drifting across the landscape in hyperactive,
profoundly social groups of a dozen or more birds,
foraging for spiders and small insects. The word
"flock" is inadequate for evoking their nervous
energy. "Swarm" almost gets it but that word implies a
larger number. "Mob" implies a threat but there's
nothing threatening about these teeny, plain-looking
little birds so easily identified by their very long
tails and very short beaks. Even with such lengthy
tails the birds reach only 3½-inches long (9 cm), so
they're much smaller than a chickadee. As they fly
about orbiting one another they softly, plaintively
keep in touch calling a high, thin, fussing tsit-tsit-
tsit...

Bushtits are the only North American member of their
family, the Long-tailed Tit Family, or Aegithalidae,
the other twelve members of the family being Eurasian.
Our Bushtits are also the only species in their genus
Psaltriparus.

Bushtits are found in open woodlands, scrubby areas
and even suburban shrubbery, from Vancouver, British
Columbia south through much of the western US to
Guatemala.

Tbey've been active again recently... the coal tits fledged about 3 weeks ago and I'm pretty sure they're onto their second brood. The blue tit is looking less frazzled so I suspect his brood have also flown the nest and he's just replenishing his energy now that the coal tits have left the fat pecker. They still feed there but not so frenetically so the Blue has a chance to stock up before being harangued from the bay tree. They actually pecked him off when they were feeding young. Haven't seen the great tits for a while, I think they've found another feeder down the road.

Meanwhile, the neighbours over the fence have uprooted several shrubs that were along our fence, so there is a distinct lack of cover there now... so our feathered friends may find nest sites a little lacking next spring. I've no intention of trimming any more of my trees and bushes, so they're always welcome on my side of the fence.

So ya got 3 sorts of tits, huh, Liz? Just noticed yer thread.    Look...don't feel bad. They often ain't exactly the same size or shape on a lotta broads, and it ain't no big deal. Most guys will not even notice the difference. Learn to love what ya got, I say.

On the other hand, I'm thinkin' that the third one would throw some people a little off... It could be a problem.

What I would suggest is...pick out the one among the three that is least...um..."desirable" I guess would be the word...and get it surgically removed. Pick a real good sawbones so the operation don't leave a scar.

I know a guy in Chicago who does that sort of thing. He's good and his rates are cheap. Call me.

I posted the combination on the Thread Name Game thread and when I came back they had moved apart - as tits tend to do if you don't give them plenty of support, I suppose.

Tits are real...tits are wonderful... we all love tits so let's give them the support they deserve. Liz, your thread is a delight and your tits are the best I have come upon.

Yesterday morning I had two fairly large pigeons trying to land in my butterfly bush... they flapped off rapidly after discovering that their combined weight pushed the branch down just far enough to be within reach of the coiled, furry black spring that was the Raven pussy, just waiting for the perfect breakfast.

They'd been too busy courting to notice him before... He can be a sneaky little pussy when he wants. He's decided that it is his reason d'etre to catch, kill and eat one of the racing pigeons that regularly fly over the house. He'll sit in the front window with his little black nose squashed up to the glass, his back end twitching like a very twitchy thing and make the oddest collection of noises that I suppose in cat language mean something like 'I've got some fava beans and a nice chianti all ready for you'...

Rusty,
from south of the equator I'm not sure of the exact timing of the breeding season of your tits so my suggestion might have to wait until any nestlings have flown. A bit of smoke blown into the hole will cause most birds/rodents/etc to vacate the premises rapidly, if they can do so. A bit of burning rubber smoke increases the effect while still staying humane. Deserted eggs won't smell much but you might still want to wait until after the season. The smoke can be blown along a length of tube so that it doesn't represent a barrier between where they are and the exit.

Cheers, Rowan

Serious question: where an overflow pipe was removed from the house, there's a small hole halfway up the wall. I've seen blue tits flying up to it and going in, but so far, I haven't seen one coming out. Do you experts know if a blue tit can turn round in such a confined space, or is there an ever-mounting heap of late, deceased, bereft of life blue tits inside the cavity wall? I 'd like to block the hole up to avoid this rather worrying possibility, but would hate to think I'd done so while there's one or two still inside.

If you wait till the summer you'll probably be safe to do it, but any bereft tits in your cavity (ooerr, missus!) will be difficult to remove. Good idea to block it up anyway, in case you get bees or wasps nesting in there.
