Hunger Brings Birds into the Yard The first snow covers the food of birds that have stayed for the winter. The tits that live in the forest have stored all excess food into tree caches already in the fall. However, the very familiar Great Tit, that nests in the forest also in the summer, does not store food. It is a common visitor at bird tables, because its nutrition during winter is based on food provided by people. The black and grey coloured forest bird, Willow Tit, also likes to visit bird tables. Despite their small size, they are quite able to hold their own against the great tits. The bird table is next to the clothesline where the "traffic jam" forces the birds to wait for their turn.
