There's even a photo of one you can click on to enlarge.
quote:
Researchers found that great tits are laying eggs earlier in the spring than they used to, keeping step with the earlier emergence of caterpillars.Writing in the journal Science, they point out that the same birds in the Netherlands have not managed to adjust. Understanding why some species in some places are affected more than others by climatic shifts is vital, they say.

A thread posted for the sole purpose of being able to publicly utter the assessment "great tits" is reinforcing the degredation of women as sex objects.
Not progressive.

Yeah, except you didn't, here or elsewhere. And it's really not that funny either, is it? Ever wonder why that is?
Short answer: patriarchy.
Guess what: I don't find tit jokes very amusing anymore either.
