For the record, it should be mentioned that on the KCD, there was an
image of a hedgehog to explain what a {Qa'Hom} is.

A titmouse on the other hand is a bird.

I suppose the producers or the writers mixed this up and thought that a
titmouse is a mouse.

After all, Okrand explained in HolQeD (and to me in person) that the
{Qa'Hom} is not a bird.
