Weaves a flask-shaped hanging nest from plant down so snug it was once used as a slipper.
- Populasi
- ~420,000–840,000 mature individuals in Europe (majority of global range); population trend increasing
- Habitat
- Wetlands and semi-open riparian habitat — reed beds, river lowlands, and scrub/woodland edges with willows, elms, poplars, or birches, especially trees with thin drooping branches suitable for nest attachment; usually near water
- Fakta menarik
- The Eurasian Penduline Tit weaves an elaborate, felted pouch-shaped nest with a tubular side entrance from plant down and spider silk, suspended over water from thin hanging branches or reed stems — a structure so sturdy that in parts of Central Europe it was historically repurposed as a child's slipper or purse.
- Sebaran
- Western Palearctic, from Iberia and western/southeastern Europe eastward across temperate and steppe Eurasia to China; range expanded westward and southward (reaching northern Morocco) through the 20th century; northern/eastern populations migratory, southern populations largely resident
