The Eurasian blue tit will nest in any suitable hole in a tree, wall, or stump, or an artificial nest box, often competing with house sparrows or great tits for the site. Few birds more readily accept the shelter of a nesting box; the same hole is returned to year after year, and when one pair dies another takes possession.
Cyanistes is a genus of birds in the tit family Paridae. The genus was at one time considered as a subgenus of Parus.In 2005 an article describing a molecular phylogenetic study that had examined mitochondrial DNA sequences from members of the tit family, proposed that a number of subgenera including Cyanistes be elevated to genus status.

Tits are cavity-nesting birds, typically using trees, although Pseudopodoces [12] builds a nest on the ground. Most tree-nesting tits excavate their nests, [13] and clutch sizes are generally large for altricial birds, ranging from usually two eggs in the rufous-vented tit of the Himalayas to as many as 10 to 14 in the blue tit of Europe.
Aristotle recognised three species: the long-tailed tit, the great tit, and the Eurasian blue tit. [12] The pygmy bushtit is placed in this family because it moves around in flocks and its nests resemble the long-tailed tits', but information about it is so scanty that the placement is only provisional.
