“A baby boom among Britain’s blue tits could cause an avian housing crisis in 2005, according to wildlife experts. The British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) is urging people to put up nesting boxes to help the birds this spring.”
Why, what did you think the article was about?
Perhaps Britain can turn to Ecuador for help in solving its tit crisis. In the Galapagos Park, habitat has been set aside for three sizes of boobies.
Habitat for the tits could surely be set aside on the Scilly Isles. Or having healthy tits around might bring new life to the old Mull of Kintyre, of which Paul McCartney sang.
Or perhaps the same strategy could be adopted as with the great tits.
Thanks for keeping us abreast of this avian crisis. 
(Whistles nonchalantly and exits…)
When the conservationists in Ecuador check on the mountain nesting sites, they like to say hello to the little birds. I guess it’s an aerie “Hola”. (I hear it gets a bit nippy up there though)
I’m glad the BTO is encouraging people to put up nesting boxes. We all know that tits need support.
This is the biggest tit crisis in recent mammary.
Blue tits?
Maybe they should dress warmer.

It’s a shame the term “tit men” doesn’t carry quite the meaning it used to. If there are blue tits, I’m assuming there are other, possibly amusing varieties?

No…no Andorian pron? :eek: 
Busty,
Pron is a crustecean… 
Cute bird. My current favorite birds are the titmice who come to eat seeds every day. They remind me of tiny, not as colorful, bluejays.
For those not aware, Blue Tits should never be confused with Purple Hooters. Entirely different.
In oher news, here are some Wild Asses:

Alas, there’s no more information to be had at this link.
