Chickadees at my bird feeder

[popparoc46]

Chickadees are one of my favourite birds. Last weekend, I was successful in having one land on my hand to eat peanuts. A small flock of about 10 (or 12 - they are so quick) birds were stocking up for the winter at our feeder. Between the chickadees and the chipmunks, we are going through a ton of seed! - roc

Nice video...how do u keep the squirrels away?

The upper floor of my house overhangs the main floor in the front by about a foot. The bird feeder hangs from a hook on the underside of the overhang fairly close to the window. The squirrels haven't yet figured out how to reach it. I can easily reach it from indoors to fill it by opening the window from the top.

The squirrels have now figured out how to reach it. I have changed to using safflower seeds for the birds at that feeder, and I put sunflower seeds on the ground for the squirrels and any ground feeders who want it.

In Sweden we have a very similar bird called Talltita.. or Willow Tit in English, but like Gumley pointed out, it's also similar to the Great Tit..

Don't know what your bird is, but we have one similar over here called a Great Tit.

These are black capped chickadees, which are also in the tit family. If you do a search on them, some sites have their song.
