How to Speak Tufted Titmouse The tufted titmouse looks like a small gray cardinal about the size of a sparrow Their songs sound like “Peter Peter Peter” And this is used to attract mates and defend territory But where I used get confused with this is that their alarm call sounds very similar to the chickadees But with a more raspy tone to it This calls are used to alert others of nearby threats, and can many times even overpower the chickadees What are the tufted titmice saying near you? #birdso
