[birder445]

[MisterLEM0NS]

effing adorable

[GreenEyesSmiley]

We hand feed Chickadees and Nuthatches all the time, it's become a favorite hobby for us. Your mini documentary is awesome. How about making one for Nuthatches as well? I wish I could see baby chickadees....but they are nowhere to be seen. cheers from Canada

[AgileHProductions]

@GreenEyesSmiley That's a neat video. Thanks for posting it as a video response to this video!

@GreenEyesSmiley

I had no idea what these birds were until today, I have several pairs in my back yard here in Iowa. They have nested in a iron pole in my yard with an opening that is no more than 2 inches wide. My son said he heard noises in this pole last week and we had to wait till dark to get a flash light to see her sitting in the pole about two feet down. This week there are two baby chicks so adorable. I've tried to take pics but it has been hard since using a flashlight and the size.

one of these little guys struck my window today. I had to sprint outside to save him from my cat. I put him in a tree and luckily he flew away after 10 minutes.

[powerofsonic]

How do you get chickadees in your yard what do they eat and how to attract them cause i only get cute little sparrows...

[AgileHProductions]

@powerofsonic I don't know. I guess I'm just lucky to have them.

[ancientswordfighters]

@powerofsonic they like suet (love it!) peanut butter if smeared on trees helps too. Their favorite food is the black oil sunflower seeds. They also like peanuts.

[ancientswordfighters]

@powerofsonic  they like suet, those square mesh styled feeders. They also like peanut butter and blackoil sunflowers are the most popular seeds that attract them.

[LouaWolf]

@powerofsonic Well, it depends a lot on 1) where you live 2) what type of feeders you have 3) what type of feeders you have. If you live in the middle of the city, it'll take some time for chickadees to come, particularly when there isn't many trees around. In any case, they like black-oil sunflower seeds (buy it bags with only this type of seed--avoid "wild bird" mixes) and suet best.

[JDvorak2009]

we have a pair nesting in a box my dad made last year that had contained house wrens that year, but the chickadees took over this year. They sure are a wonder to behold!

I've got some great pictures of them this year.

[AgileHProductions]

@JDvorak2009 Maybe you should make a photo montage to music for Youtube. You can post it as a video response to this video.

[adcoopie]

I used to live in New York City , and there is a park there we my wife and I used to go and feed them. They will take food from the palm of your hand, and I would try to quickly pet their chests before they would fly away. Very soft!

[RivardMatthew]

CHEESEBURGER!!!

[AgileHProductions]

@RivardMatthew Cheeseburger?

[poaeypark]

they are in my trees all the time I feed them sunflower seeds hear that sound all the time . in ohio 

[AgileHProductions]

@poaeypark Ohio Rocks! (so do chickadees!)

[aaaraura]

woah you and I did the bird call at the exact same time at the end....was not expecting that XD

[ponder2006]

I like how they are fading out the other orange bird...

[Wiggy8675309]

These are my favorite looking songbirds

[AgileHProductions]

@Wiggy8675309 Come on... you think they are better than cardinals? What are you crazy?!?! :)

[MRMOE12345]

I play this video for my cat.

[AgileHProductions]

@MRMOE12345 I'm always worried that my cat is going to knock my computer monitor over because she gets so excited.

[jaydeekayex]

Their call at the beginning made my ears bleed.

[AgileHProductions]

@jaydeekayex You must have sensitive ears.

[jaydeekayex]

@AgileHProductions I probably do, lol.

[SleepyTymeT]

Ha! Like the call at the end.  I wonder who their videos characterize OUR calls?

[AgileHProductions]

@SleepyTymeT Good question!

[AgileHProductions]

@SleepyTymeT Hamburger, Hamburger, Hamburger...

[iswc27]

Chickadees are cute little birds and I love hearing them say their name! Speaking as a Massachusetts native, our state made an excellent choice. I think I once read somewhere that Maine honored the chickadee because it helps the potato farmers by eating insect pests that can destroy the crops. And BTW, it is also the provincial bird of New Brunswick.

This is a delightful video, and seeing the cardinals with them is a beautiful bonus. Thanks, James!

[KaTzaNdSTuFf]

Aren't they in all of North America? I live in Tennessee and we have them here quite a bit.

[KaTzaNdSTuFf]

@KaTzaNdSTuFf Nevermind. I guess I've been seeing the Carolina Chickadee.

[AgileHProductions]

@KaTzaNdSTuFf It's my understanding that they are pretty wide spread. I just saw some in the Sierra Nevada Mountains a few weeks ago.

[Dynastar231]

D'AWW! I fed one by hand a few months ago! :D I love Chickadees! :-)

[capetown99]

They look very similar to the European Bluetit-Greatit.

[thePedro1er]

whats that other red bird that appears at 0:32?

[AgileHProductions]

@thePedro1er Female Northern Cardinal

[MightyMouse1997]

i love chickadees!!!! i always see them here in colorado in the winter!

[bleutuber]

Agree with the sunflower seeds. Ditch the milo, like all your feeder birds are doing. Waste of money and tose mixes never have enough sunflower.

[CutelittleMouseygirl]

We get chickadees all the time here! I think they must live in our holly trees...

[logos2600]

chickadeedeedeedeedeedeedee

[AgileHProductions]

@logos2600 I couldn't agree with you more.

[Horses4Ever45]

My kitten especially liked this video :P 

[SpunkySkunk347]

chickadee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee

[barefootfoof]

These little guys are so fun! Like the mourning dove, if you can imitate their call well enough, they'll answer you back. Sounds weird, but I like talking with the birds :D

[guyNbluejeans]

PLEASE DON'T feed birds via feeders!! These little guys over-feed themselves and often that causes their stomachs and intestines to clog whereby they die agonizing deaths!!

I actually was feeding birds here a couple of years ago in the winter and I didn't understand why I would see dead ones now and then until I had a clear dream of a beautiful little bird in a straightjacket and it was pooping out lots of seeds! When I woke up I took it down because I got the message!

Only a *little* food...!

[ClimateSightful]

Best feeder birds ever! They like to swing upside down on the perches in our yard.

[AgileHProductions]

@ClimateSightful They are cute little guys. We moved to a new place and I haven't seen any since. I miss them. :(

[BirdsNation]

Thank you for sharing this awesome video.

[HeadlessPony]

I love your videos! Very informative! Birds are the best, arn't they?

[StateQuoable]

SYMBIOTES ARE INVADING EARTH INFECTING ALL OF THE BIRDS

[silvermoon2003]

I love these birds. They come to my birdfeeder every day.

[PERCOVICH777]

VERY good video see THE BIRD TITICACA

[cannonmovietalesfan]

I'm a Massachusetts native and we happen to have a lot of these cute birds every year round. I love their calls, especially their 'cheeseburger' songs.

[aznpridekr]

[PixiiBabi3]

hahahahahaha at the end!!! =]

Hello AgileHProductions, great mini-doc! These little birds are familiar guests at most people’s bird feeders, within their range of distribution. For many Canadians, they are iconic of the Canadian winter and persevererance.

@MizzMoxie You must have a very smart cat!

[HelloNewYorkCity]

i always see these in los angeles though...

[chickadee2222]

lol at the end. I love chickadees (hence my username lol). When I was visiting Canada and U.S. I saw soooo many, they come non-stop to my aunt's place in Canada as she has like 10 feeders. There was this park, i forgot the name, but when i put out my hand, even without any food, one two, up to three chickadees actually came and sat on my hand. I think it's because people feed them in the park, but still it was a really cool experience. :D

[HelloNewYorkCity]

its like the canada goose's little brother

[lawndaisies]

I very much enjoyed this video! Black oil sunflower seeds are in one of our feeders. We sprinkle a few on the platform feeders, too. We have quite a collection of fresh seeds because we have quite a collection of visiting birds!

[kemptonjones]

For a real thrill, hold a sunflower seed firmly between your lips, tilting your head upwards towards a chickadee. You'll be pleasantly surprized how quickly a bold little chickadee snatches the seed away . . and perhaps a little intimidated when its bright shiny black eyes stare dauntingly at you from just inches away. Its good to learn we're not the only one to "speak" chickadee and we're always delighted to summon these little guys simply by calling out, "Chicka-dee-dee-dee". Try it and see.

[BunnyLover9000]

Me and my friend LOVE bird wacthing, and we decided to try and tame two black capped chickadees in our own backyards! Thanks for the help!

[mrfourtysevenman]

if you hold your hand out with black sunflower seeds they will fly to your hand and eat outta it.

[BaxSho]

Sounds like theyre saying "Cheeeese burger"

[shaftoandrich]

YES! I was just watching that episode!

[agile1111]

They absolutely love sunflower seeds.

[treegurl84]

OMG these birds are so cute!! When I first saw these up close I couldn't believe how tiny they were!

[luv2draw821]

I want to attract them to my backyard but I don't have many trees and I read on internet you have to have 'suet' or something....

[faelismaegnus]

Nice touch on the end of the vid, man. Chicka-dee-dee-dee-dee to you too!

[FreonRose]

hehe i always thought it was sparrow making that noise. looks like i was wrong. XD for some reason i like that sound

[ipsos2007]

I like chickadees!

[3080foxtrot]

great video ,thx for the helpful information !!

[Haloya101]

0:33

lol random bird came from nowhere xD

[hagelt18]

Wow the unique sound it made was ridiculously cool.

One thing I don't like about birds though is how spastic their movements are...like his head from 0:10 - 0:20.

[a9ng7ie]

We have alot of them in our yard and Safflower seeds seem to be their favorite and squirrels do NOT like safflower seeds! Cute little guys!

[ShadeWolf73]

AWW!! They are soo cute! I want one!! but having one as a pet would be mean

[SuperSaiyn4Goku]

Chickadees are interesting to watch and some things are still yet not known about them. I actually got a chance not to long ago to watch one actually eat the seeds from the fruit of a staghorn sumac tree. It really isn't just the normal bird seed (oil sunflower seeds) or insects that they eat. They will also eat what they know they'll benefit from over time to survive.

[SableSpike747]

There's been a family of chickadees in my backyard for as long as I can remember. my parents and I used to peek into their birdhouse when I was a kid. The parents would just sit and wait for us to move, then go about their business. But if my friends did that, they'd be unhappy. It's like they remembered us, the ones who put up their birdhouse. They're pretty cute, I love them.

[mrfourtysevenman]

they are hand tame during the winter.

i had my face only 4 inches from the feeder and yet they still came to it.

[silverdaisy94]

good job

lol at the end
