This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ... The Bearded Tit is confined to Europe, and may be considered as peculiar to that continent. It is not a common bird, although it occurs in nearly every European country; its range extending over Denmnrk, Russia, Gallicia, Hungary, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Holland and England. In Scandinavia, Turkey and Greece it does not seem to occur. Bearded Tits are usually seen in watery and marshy localities, flying in flocks or pairs, but never alone. They dwell in the reeds or in low trees near the waterside, often approaching near to or alighting on the ground amongst herbs and high shrubs, rarely settling on large branches or in high and thick-foliaged trees, and are never seen in company with birds not of their own species. Bearded Tits avoid the society of other little songsters wherever they can; they are extremely retiring, and seem purposely to separate themselves from the other feathered inhabitants of the neighbourhood. In this respect they behave just like strangers, forming an union amongst themselves, and avoiding contact with all other birds. The Bearded Tit is a very characteristic, highly peculiar, and most interesting little bird. With respect to its structure and habits, it stands alone in the European avi-fauna; in fact it has no relatives anywhere, and is a bird of so peculiar a formation as to constitute a genus by itself. Despite this, it may be classified, so far as regards the avi-fauna of Europe, near the Tits (Panis), with which, however, it has but little connexion. From its restless flight and constant movements it may be in a measure analogous to the Longtailed Tit (Acredula), but a more careful examination of the movements, and comparison of their anatomical structure, will sufficiently show that they are not...
