Little bird and I got little nuts (4-6,3)

I believe the answer is:

long-tailed tit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'little bird' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'and i got little nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates anagramming the letters (nuts can mean crazy).
'and'+'i'+'got'+'little'='andigotlittle'
'andigotlittle' is an anagram of 'LONG-TAILED TIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for long-tailed tit that I've seen before include "Small songbird" , "A little tin god (anag) -- small bird" .)
