Useful Hints
- Titmice build cup-shaped nests inside the nest cavity using damp leaves, moss and grasses, and bark strips. They line this cup with soft materials such as hair, fur, wool, and cotton, sometimes plucking hairs directly from living mammals.
- During incubation, the male feeds the female both on and off the nest.
- “Helpers” from a previous year’s nest may occasionally aid the breeding pair in raising young.
