Chickadees live in the woods, farmlands, and suburbs.
Chickadees acrobatically move through tree branches while searching for insects. They also eat seeds and berries and can even hold sunflower seeds in their feet while cracking them open with their beaks. Chickadees may store food in bark crevices, needle clusters, and under leaves for times when food is scarce.
Hanging Feeders, Suet Feeders, and Wire Screen Feeders for Peanuts or Peanut Hearts
Chickadees benefit greatly from backyard feeders. Black-capped Chickadees can interbreed with Carolina Chickadees. In the fall and winter half their diet consists of seeds and berries, the other half is insects, spiders, and fat of carrion.
