Long-tailed tits are a group of small passerinebirds with medium to long tails. They make woven bag nests in trees. Most eat a mixed diet that includes insects.
The Long-tailed Tits are a small group of tiny passerines found mostly in Palearctic Eurasia but with a single species in western North America and another isolated in the mountains of Java.
This family is closely related to the tits, titmice, and chickadees [Paridae] and although they often occur together in the same general habitat, the closely knit family units of the Aegithalidae tend to forage most often in single species groups.
