A blue-gray songbird with a resounding echo, the Tufted Titmouse is a common and welcome sight in deciduous forests and backyard feeders. Their distinctly large black eyes and unique blue-gray plumage gives these birds a distinct look that delights both casual and committed birders in the eastern US.

Along with the other ornaments in our popular bird collection, the Tufted Titmouse makes a wonderful gift for birders, nature lovers, and bird collectors, whether for Christmas, birthdays, as a thank-you, or for any other occasion.
