parid (PAH-rid) - n., any of numerous small passerine birds of the family Paridae, the tits and chickadees.


No relationship to marid, sorry. The difference between a tit and a chickadee is that if it lives the Old World, it's a tit, and if it lives in the New World, it's a chickadee (unless it's a titmouse). Name is, via the family name, from Latin parus, tit (and by extension chickadee).

Great tit (left) and Eurasian blue tit (right) are both parids
Thanks, WikiMedia!

The parid, not to be confused with the marid. 😆
