Useful Hints
- The Oak Titmouse mates for life, and pairs defend year-round territories.
- The female is primarily responsible for nest construction; during this time, the male is increasingly attendant to her, feeding her inside the cavity and accompanying her while she gathers nest material.
- The nest is primarily built of grass, moss, hair, and feathers.
