The tit-tyrants are fairly small birds (11–14 cm) that get their common name from the tit family, due to their energetic tit-like dispositions and appearance, primarily in their crests.[1] Tit-tyrants live in temperate or arid scrub habitats and are mainly found in the Andes mountains.[1] It is one of only a few genera of small flycatchers that occur at such high altitudes.[2]

gollark: Yes, """machine learning""" will solve all problems ever.

gollark: Anyway, mind-reading is entirely doable but unfortunately most people's minds contain annoying irrelevant content rather than the specifics of the search query they just made.
