Own every animal of the family Paridae.
Tits and chickadees are small, lively and acrobatic birds. They often cling upside down to branches to look for insects. Many nest in tree holes. They live in the Northern Hemisphere and Africa. Several hide seeds in bark crevices to eat later in the cold months. Many join flocks of other birds in winter.

Paridae
Cyanistes cyanus · Least concern
A white cap sets the azure tit apart from every other tit. In western Russia it often pairs with its cousin the blue tit, and the hybrids, called Pleske's tits, were once thought to be a separate species. It nests in tree holes and lays about 10 eggs.

Paridae
Periparus ater · Least concern
'Black-headed tit with white nape, ash-grey back, white breast': that long Latin label was the coal tit's name in Linnaeus's Fauna Svecica, which he drew on when he named it in 1758. Its song is a strident if-he, if-he, if-he, heard mostly from January to June.

Paridae
Cyanistes caeruleus · Least concern
'Little Billy Biter' is its nickname in south-west England. When guarding its eggs, the Eurasian blue tit raises its crest, a sign of excitement rather than anger, since it also does so during courtship. Its clutch is often very large, though seven or eight eggs is normal.
