Often traveling together in large family groups of up to 30 or 40, the Bushtit attracts many other species that form mixed foraging flocks in a wide range of open wet to dry forest types. The food is primarily small insects gleaned from leaves and vegetation. Their conspicuous hanging nest looks like a gourd woven with twigs, moss, lichens, grass and spider webbing. Although one pair lays the eggs, many other individuals help feed the young.\r\n
The four-digit banding code is BUSH.
