As said above, tits are related to American chickadees. I've seen chickadees chase much larger birds, such as blue jays, away from the bird feeders. One chickadee can show up and clear the feeder of a half dozen larger birds. They are also champions at scolding the cats, snakes and other predators that might be around. I've even had thm dive bomb me if I get too close to their nests.
