The Tenerife blue tit is one of the smallest birds in Europe. This bird lives only on the island of Tenerife and has a bright crest on its head.
The Tenerife blue tit differs from the common blue tit by its darker plumage and special voice. It is important for the island's forests because it controls the population of insects.
