All About The ChickadeeDoes not go south in winter. Song--two or three clear long whistles and the chirping of his own name, "chickadee." A gay, curious little bird. Black head and throat--sides of head and neck white--breast grayish buff--wings and tail darker shade edged with white--larger feathers of shoulders white. Food--seeds and dormant insects or larval eggs.--Valuable as an insect destroyer. Builds in hollow places--usually deserted woodpeckers' or squirrels' nests--sometimes hollows place for itself. Six white eggs speckled with red--young birds, male and female much alike in colouring. Next: Robin Redbreast Merry Robin Redbreast Previous: Chilly Little Chickadees
