Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus)

            Blue tits, along with great tits and sparrows, are almost daily visitors to my garden. 
The bird feeder is located among some older trees, which is why sometimes entire flocks of birds gather there. 
While blue tits prefer to eat insects and worms, they adapt in winter and become seed eaters. Then they eat nuts, sunflower seeds, and suet balls, but also apples and berries.


Die Blaumeise (© Edina)  

Ein Vögelein am Boden saß, 
es pickte emsig in dem Gras.
Ein Windstoß kam von Norden her, 
das Vögelein erschrak sich sehr. 
Gar schnell sich aufschwang aus der Aue
die kleine Meise, eine blaue. 

Schon kalt der Wind im Lande weht 
Manch Vögelein von  dannen geht. 
Doch das Meislein zu sich spricht:
"Der Süden, nein, er reizt mich nicht. 
Ich bin zwar blau, doch it's nicht kalt."
Flog auf und zwitscherte: "Bis bald!"
