Gadzooks! How cute! And he looks very plushy, like a stuffed boid.

 |  Dec 30, 2007 at 10:05 PM

Also, if I'm identifying him correctly, he has pretty much the funniest common name of any bird in the world (other than the blue-footed booby): I think he's a Great Tit.

hello welcomes to Hungurzz, what do you think of us now...???????

(Chickadees are a kind of tit that lives in the U.S. - Great Tits live in Europe. And quite possibly in other places, too.)

hey-h
 |  Dec 30, 2007 at 10:18 PM

A quick google image search confirms that it's a Great Tit. Which is freaking hilarious. I love goofy animal names.

Take cover below! Dear heavens, what about the children!

Seriously, he looks like he has Mothra for lunch.

Kar
 |  Dec 30, 2007 at 10:27 PM

Speaking of chickadees, there was a discussion a while back to come up with a collective noun for tits. (Like a flock of birds, or a school of fish.)

It was determined that tits grouped on a branch were a rack of tits, and tits seen flying together in the sky were a jiggle of tits.

If that's not official, it ought to be.

Hon Glad
 |  Dec 30, 2007 at 11:39 PM

I'm pretty sure the Swedish name for that one is talgoxe, which would translate into something like lard-ox. Great Tit is a lot funnier. :-)

We have a couple of boirds called "tita" though... talltita and entita. And when I looked that up on Wikipedia, I found that their particular family of titor, (poecile) is called - *drumroll* - chickadees!

elaine

My, does he ever look *peeved*!

FYI the word "tita" in Hawaii refers to a tough lady - perhaps appropriate, but I thought you should know!

We saw these birds everywhere in Austria. They're just as common there as chickadees are here. But when we talked about them in the fancy hotel elevator, people would look at us funny. I guess they knew enough English to recognize the funny meaning of great tit, but not enough to know the English name of their Kohlmeise. Before we went, I had bought a European bird guide and hand-written in the German names. But I don't have it with me right now. So hooray for Google. And thanks for bringing back a great memory. What a great photo!

Susan

PS to DC: You're right about Talgoxe. See http://www.mumm.ac.be/~serge/birds/search_en.html

Susan
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 04:43 AM

Why is it that bird names seem to have an affinity for breasts?? Great tits, hooters (owls), boobies, etc???

Catman Dude =^-.-^=
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 05:48 AM

Here in the U.S. we have the bushtit and the tufted titmouse.

is anyone else getting this chnlove.com ad on CO now? CO may not have control over what ads google puts in the googleAds box, but this one might as well be asianfetish.com with that smiling white guy going over to pick up his mail order bride in china. :O call me a nuffer, but racism is not cute...

rad_cuteologist
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 06:08 AM

Catman Dude, perhaps it's the other way around? I mean, perhaps we have decided to name this favorite part of the female anatomy after lovely birds? Hmmm?

Desdemona

well somehow this killed their webcam :( I wanted to go watch.

does anyone else watch raccooncam.com ?

rad_cuteologist, it's not really racism, but yeah, I agree that C.O. isn't the place for Asian personal ads. I could also do without the "Get Naked Now!" gals in their undergarments, but oh well.

indi
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 07:15 AM

It looks as if he's about to grab that white car in his claws, carry it off to his Great Tit lair (most likely a DD cup), and nawm on it!

Ya know, here she is, just
going about her day - checking her feathers in this nice, reflective spot
and what do we do??
We take her picture!
What ever happened to privacy?
Can't a birdy just adjust a feather anymore?

I can just hear those wings buzzing. So cute & pretty!

 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 08:48 AM

llism, are you saying asian fetish ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_fetish ) isn't racist or that http://chnlove.com isn't based on asian fetish? From their faq: "it is a dream for many western singles to share their life with Chinese women who are famous for their faithfulness and tenderness" ( http://www.chnlove.com/help/questions.php?category=1 ). I'm not saying all interracial dating is racist, but to fully dismiss a site for western men to find brides in china as not really fueled by (dangerous) stereotypes seems a bit rash, imho.

..may the cute be with you..

rad_cuteologist
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 09:02 AM

I seriously thought this was a parade float at first.

Meggy

Wow, that's cool! I wish everybody a very happy new year!

Holy Cuteness

Charlie
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 10:33 AM

rad_cuteologist/llism:

just to weigh in on the ad issue... I don't know if it's intended to be racist or not, but I did take notice of the fact that all they think someone needs to know to be interested is height, weight, age, and major city. That ads a layer of creepy.

one of the erins
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 10:34 AM

Yeah I was a bit annoyed at the asian dating add too. Its like LOL womens dont look at the intarwebs! -.- It maybe isnt true in this case, but I find shipping women off to be slaves of sad white guys that cant get a date pretty sexist if anything. :/

Charlie
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 10:37 AM

mikemil828 ftw!!!

I wish Cloverfield would be that cute!

Deana
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 10:46 AM

/agree deana but you wouldnt want to look like a giant worm too much ! or wear a ladybird outfit! HEY maybe this is the solution to all thos evil harlequin ladybirds hehe

Charlie

It's the titty that ate Cincinnati!

AuntieMame
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 11:20 AM

It's the itty bitty titty committee.

Actually, I like this pic, because on Friday where I work I found a dead bird on the reflecting pool. The poor little guy went in to get a piece of bread and must have broke his neck in the falling water, because he was out on the edge of the pool, and the bread was still in his beak when he died.

This kind of honors his memory, in a way.

Russell Miller
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 12:08 PM

And to those who are going on about the sexist and racist nature of the ads... I don't agree. I only think they're inappropriate if the women are being forced to do something they don't want to. Otherwise it probably means a better life for them here than there.

Just focus on the cute, people. :) There's no reason to get hypersensitive about every little thing. Fuzzy kittehs, furry buns... now that's what I'm talkin' about.

Russell Miller
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 12:12 PM

Hey! Did someone say fury buns? That's my cue! lol

Stheriously Kewl pic.
In the "I kid you not" category, a LBB (little brown birdy") just flew into my sliding glass door. Didn't look like a tit to me....
Happily he turned around & flew over to the ivy where I swear he sat glaring at me.

Yitzysmommie
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 03:28 PM

AAAAAH! It's a great tit--and I do mean great! BTW, firefinch, I too am a birdwatcher and I've seen a bushtit, in one of my parents' rosebushes. I had to look it up, and I haven't seen one since. It was a total Snow White birdie, completely unafraid of me.

Sharon Wilson
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 03:47 PM

yitzysmommie:

I have a story about that. Once I was at a client's house which was also his office - a rather large building in the Santa Monica mountains with a lot of glass windows. I looked outside and there was this little ball of feathers puffed out.

I went outside and picked her up. She was still alive, but stunned and didn't make any effort to resist me. She sat on my finger for 10 minutes while she came to, and finally flew off once she came to her senses.

This was a wild bird - not a pet.

It remains one of my best memories - I just wish I'd had a camera.

Russell Miller
 |  Dec 31, 2007 at 04:10 PM

Oh my God! Run, everyone! It's coming fo... wait... Awww... look at the cute birdie face.... YAAAAAH!... [splat!]

NeevBeav
 |  Jan 01, 2008 at 03:54 PM

I agree with Meggy, I thought it was a very realistic Macy's parade float.

e-beth
 |  Jan 01, 2008 at 07:12 PM

This is a really cute blue tit!
In Hungary we call it "cinke" or "cinege". :))

Mirza

Hope it didn't fly against the camera and broke its little neck. O_O

I think he looks like he's about to burst into song - not birdsong, but with lyrics and stuff, like a Disney character or something.

Very cute.

Eris
 |  Jan 02, 2008 at 07:30 PM

I can only hope that bird doesn't fire off a butt load over those teensy liddle cars...the squeegy guys would have the devil of a time getting it all off the windscreen!
