Small but full of personality, the Tufted Titmouse is one of the most entertaining birds you'll find in a St. Tammany Parish backyard!

Right now, many Tufted Titmice are busy raising their young and teaching them how to forage for food. If you've noticed a gray bird with a pointed crest darting around your feeders, chances are you've spotted one.

✨ Fun Facts:
• Tufted Titmice often store seeds to eat later.
• They can remember hundreds of hiding spots.
• Both parents help care for their young.
• They love sunflower seeds, peanuts, and suet.

Want to attract Tufted Titmice to your yard?
