Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus)

"puoffy...." "Seeing as how US-centric these polls tend to get, I want to spread awareness of these adorable and social balls of fluff." "round"

This bird was entered as it's nominal species name (Long-tailed Tit), as well as two of the subspecies (Shima Enaga and Korean Crow-tit/Baepsae)

The long-tailed tit was originally described with other chickadees and its, but has been split into its own family (Aegithalidae) with Pygmy and American Bushtit. There are 17 subspecies, which are broken into three separate groups: The caudatus group of nothern Europe and Asia; the europaeus group in southern and western Europe, north-east China, and Japan; and the alpinus group of Mediterranean Europe and south-west Asia.

These birds are incredibly social, forming small flocks of six to up to seventeen birds after the breeding season. Typically the parents and offspring of a season stick together, along with any other adults who helped to raise the brood. The primary thought behind the grouping up is that these small birds are very susceptible to cold and cuddling together through the night keeps them safe and warm.

During the breeding season, the birds split into monogamous pairs, with males remaining in the same territory that they'll overwinter while females typically wander to other territories. If the nest fails, the pair may try a second time, or help a neighboring nest. If they decide to help another nest, the pair will split and each will find a male relative (recognized by voice) to help. These nests with extra helpers often have greater success due to higher provisioning and better nest defense.
