Wild Bird Feeders

Transcript: "This cute, little bird is the black-capped chickadee. It is found in Canada, Alaska and the northern United States and is the state bird of Maine and Massachusetts. It is generally a permanent resident of this cooler climate and has adapted well. On cold winter nights, these birds reduce their body temperatures by 10 to 12 degrees Celsius to conserve energy. In the summer, they feed on insects, but in the winter they ADAPT their diet to seeds and berries. The chickadee is named after its familiar call which is a complex song used to communicate threats from predators and to coordinate movement amongst the group. It is closely related to the Carolina chickadee its southern cousin - and is virtually indistinguishable. The only way to tell them apart is to listen to the difference in their songs. If you want to attract chickadees to your bird feeder black oil sunflower seed should do the trick."
