THE LONG-TAILED TIT 
Sad to say, all the Tits are not so friendly as 
those we call Long-tailed.” The largest kind of 
Tit has a shocking habit of driving his beak deep 
into the heads of other birds. 
Once a thievish cat was seen to pull a Tit’s 
nest from a crevice and devour half the brood. 
When the brave little mother returned, and saw 
what had happened, she did not lose heart, but 
repaired the nest as well as she could, and safely 
reared what was left of her family.
