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: They have good JITs.
gollark: That's actually slower than modern JS engines.
