It is spread throughout all Europe; and is met with on the coast of Africa, and in the Canary Islands, with some little variation of plumage. Like all the rest of its tribe, this titmouse has a bright and dark side in its character.

The Crested Pintado inhabits the burning regions of Africa; and in the country of the Great Namaquois, and in the interior of the lands of Guinea these birds live
