Chickadees are regulars at our birdfeeder. When no other birds are venturing forth you can always count on chickadees to show up. Such dear little fellows they are too. Soft, fluffy and plump. Their colouring reminds me of the scarf I featured in my post yesterday.
Some interesting facts about chickadees:
* They can remember where they have hidden food up to 28 days after concealing it.
* The number of “dees” in their familiar call, “chick-a-dee-dee-dee”, increases with the level of the perceived threat from predators.
* In the winter, chickadees who are used to humans will readily take seeds from a person’s outstretched hand.
