I have tried to plant shrubs that provide a sheltered and protective environment, but this summer's ban on hoses has meant they went without sustenance and consequently I've lost several of them. Their departure has left some bare nekkid patches which I'm hoping will be covered in the spring. The pittisporum and the butterfly bush have thrived though, as has the bay.

I am, however, having to consider trimming my bush down to fence height because it's just so unruly and starting to be a nuisance to the neighbours. Trouble is, the tits love it because it still gives good cover and it'll be ripe enough to eat the seeds soon.

Liz the Squeak,

Have you considered waxing your BUSH? Please be careful because if you use hot wax and your tits should flit in it they could be injured; your tits will definitely Squeak! with pain.

Hot BUSH wax betwixt feathers and tits don't mix.   

Just one of those eternal truths in the Life of Birds.

BTW, of clinical significance, I have tried waxed BUSH and the unruly, nuisance variety you mention. My preference is definitely the former although the latter can be much riper, so better for your tits.

Lizzy,

What you have here is of bunch of men who are Bird Dogs (Men who steal another man's girlfriends (chicks) or dates; Remember the Everly Bros. song?)

Therefore, and as any bird hunter knows, Bird Dogs are known best for beating the BUSHES in search of game. Even though your tits are not considered small game animals and are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act there are those bird dogs that are always searching for bird chicks like your tits.

So, teach your tits to not respond to any bird calls used by game bird hunters. The sound of the call will be similar the the Squeak of your tits when they vocalize with each other.

It would be devastating to see your tits shot down in their prime. Tit birdwatching would never be the same fun you mentioned having, without you and other Mudcatters watching your particular tits.

Now durn it Giok, you are giving misleading information again by implying tits are nucivorous (nut-eating). All tit species of the genus Parus are frugivorous (fruit-eating) or gleaning insectivors.

Please get your tit-feeding habit facts straight. Liz's tit habits are misunderstood enough as they are without more misinformation.

Tit bills (beaks) did not evolve to eat nuts.

Liz, I'm surprised you find us hard to "get over"; we're avid bird watchers and your tits aren't the only ones we've been on about. I'm no twitcher, although I've seen lots of sights that had me twitching.

Wandering albatross cresting Southern Ocean rollers are a sight to make anyone twitch; occasionally a wing feather will ruffle into the airflow over the wing; beautiful! I've even held a Wilson's Storm Petrel in the palm of my hand, although Great Petrels lumbering over the ice with too much seal carrion aboard tend to be a bit offputting. I've listened to lyrebirds imitate chainsaws, focal plane shutters of cameras, dogs barking and multitudes of other birds. I've never heard the one that imitated the flautist practising Mozart, nor seen the visual display but it still made me twitch a bit. I've seen great flocks of galahs (even imitated one occasionally) and pelicans where they nest; wonderful.

So I hope I've come across as one who's paid proper respect for your tits and their behaviour. I wouldn't wish to be misinterpreted about them.

Cheers, Rowan

Ah Rowan, I know what you mean... a walk in my native habitat not so long ago, gave me the sight of a family group of buzzards, just wheeling along, enjoying the updraughts coming off the hill. They barely flapped, yet achieved amazing altitudes and spiralled off out over the plain (or west Dorset as we call it) and vanished into the bluest sky I've ever seen in the northern hemisphere. Truly a stunning sight.

By the way... someone better tell my tits that they don't eat nuts. There were three blue ones hanging off the nut bag yesterday.

We've got long tailed tits this year, along with the usual blue and great varieties.

Talking of things like this, we put out some new bird feeders this winter, and found that peanuts and fat balls are popular, but the assorted seeds seem to be unpopular. Any idea what sort of birds eat the seeds? They seem to be a mixture of sunflower seeds, hemp* seeds, grass seeds etc.
* no, not that sort of hemp

It's probably a survival issue and depends on the seeds locally available. If your tits don't recognise a seed, they like as not won't eat it. They also learn to recognise the feeder. The one I have at the moment is bright yellow and they'll eat out of it. I swapped it for a red one and they won't touch it, even though it was full of the same seeds and hanging in the same place.

Birds are clever creatures, but sometimes we are amused when we do things that seem to confuse them (not on purpose of course!)

The other day we moved a feeder that has a cakes of fat in it (we got it from the RSPB) from one place to another, as I put up a bird nesting box which would have been too close to it.

A couple of starlings that had got used to feeding from it, kept coming back to where it was, and looking around puzzled, wondering where it had gone. I hope they managed to find it eventually, but I didn't hang around long enough to find out.

Their beauty is not in question GS. But nonetheless confusion can be caused by a remark such as "There's a pair of great tits in the garden next door", as our local vicar can testify.
