I know it's the bird, but I will never stop laughing at these.

Excerpts like "Great tits seem to do well in and among human-made habitats" are close enough to some sort of Monty Python-esque line that it gets me every time. I wonder if people do it intentionally, like how the downtrodden journalism majors that get stuck sexying up headlines can't resist horrible puns.

This is a great replacement for the apocryphal tale about collectively-punishing monkeys when one tries to eat a banana, so that monkeys develop a mukti-generational culture of forceful preventing each other from eating banana.
