European Great Tits and 36 other bird species on the continent are more afraid of women than they are of men, according to a recent study—and researchers have no idea why.
In the study, men could get about a meter closer to birds than women could before the animals flew away, according to the results. This pattern remained regardless of what the men and women were wearing, what their height was or how they tried to approach the creatures. That suggests birds may be able to suss out the sex of a human, though the researchers aren’t sure how.
“I fully believe our results, that urban birds react differently based on the sex of the person approaching them, but I can’t explain them right now,” said Daniel Blumstein, a co-author of the study and a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, in a statement.

Tits wary of tits. Big news day!
if there is a Great tit, is there a Lesser Tit?
Men also reported interest in owl's nests when there were hooters in there.
Lizards, too. I was on a hike yesterday and lizards were everywhere. There was one, about 10” long, stopped on the trail and I snuck up on him. He didn’t move. I was able to get real close to him. This study needs to be expanded to lizards.

What time of the month was the study done?
“Sing a song of sixpence...”
It’s just their TRUST gene.
Most men know why.
Afraid they’ll start talk8ng and complaining.
Maybe the birds can smell the box wine and cats. Not all women, but enough to see the average.
So confusing - wonder where titmouse fits in here...?
And those idiots brought us Starlings instead. I am sure Shakespeare mentioned tits at one time or another.
That joke fell flat. :)
I see what you did there you titmouse. It’s tit for tat
Truthfully, men have always had a greater appreciation for Great Tits.
“It’s because they know.”
Because of cat ladies?
