Is it a tomtit too?

My French-English dictionary lists the "tomtit" as English for the French "Mésange azurée", which is undoubtedly the Azure tit (Parus cyanus). Most Web searches find the New Zealand tit (Petroica macrocephala, known in French as the Miro mésange) as "tomtit" instead. Is the dictionary wrong? Seems like it.

This aside, I think Jimfbleak was rude in not explaining his revert.

Azure Tit has never ocurred in the UK, so is very unlikely to have a common Eng name, not in my Eng dictionary, and more likely to refer to the Blue Tit if anything jimfbleak 04:42, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Color

What causes the azure color of this animal? Is it a protein? 86.186.232.71 (talk) 16:32, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Picture formatting

Currently, the pictures formatting sits strangely. I am not very skilled with adjusting pictures in Wikipedia, and generally pretty inept at artistic endeavors. It feels like there is more pictures of tits than content. (Don't get me wrong, I love pictures of tits) Jcmcc (Talk) 20:21, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
