blue tits and parenting
I just timed the blue tits on their food hunt. One minute and ten seconds to go out, find a caterpillar, come back and feed it to the babies. Both parents managed it within that time.
Just imagine, they keep that up all day long. When I open my bedroom curtains in the morning, virtually the first thing I notice is one of the blue tits visiting the nest box below me.
How do they keep it up? They're tiny little things with an insatible family. I thought human babies were demanding, but even mine took a break of several hours between feeds!
