Tits

Among infectious diseases are salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, tuberculosis, yersiniosis, listeriosis, bird flu and pseudomonosis. The most common disease is ornithosis or psittacosis.

The yellow breast makes these birds very recognizable, and gardeners and farmers are fond of them, as they actively eat insect pests. Smart and careful, titmice rarely become victims of predators, although they are often hunted even by cats, who like the taste of these gentle birds.
