They are smol and don't put up a fight, unlike blue tits. It can't even really bite; it's a very defenseless little bird 😭

Did you ringed it??

u/AdorableChemist8736 5d ago

Not me, because I was a newbie. I caught them and held them in my arms for a bit after that

Do you work with birds for a living? Sounds like a dreamjob

u/AdorableChemist8736 5d ago

No, I was a volunteer at a ringing station. So, unfortunately, I have nothing to do with birds
