[@hunterrex232]

LesleytheBirdNerd what is the date of the 2 part woodpecker story??? I was trying to watch it but I can’t find it now

[@SN-xw5bv]

LesleytheBirdNerd how about nourishing and food feeders items for saving birds instead of pillow made out of feathers! Please and thanks you :)

[@Garland67]

Perfect chickadee music!! Delightful.

[@micahbirdlover8152]

I like chickdees(◠‿・)-☆

[@Talonflamez]

My great grandmother who passed when I was a baby loved to feed chickadees so I am now feeding chickadees just because my great grandmother did.

[@blueforest2927]

I can remember my grandmother feeding them and whenever the bluejays would come around she would jump up out of her chair and clap her hands to chase them away she'd say;...go away you stealers ...this food is for the little ones...so everytime i see these cute lil creatures...it reminds me of her and her caring heart !

[@Bayerwaldler]

@@blueforest2927 Jays are coming to our feeding place recently too. Here in Germany, there lives a different eurasian variety (not quite so blue) of jay. Whenever they sense danger they screech and all the birds fly off at once. They only pick for flakes of oats that we lay out on the ground. The other birds don't mind them, except for blackbirds and sparrows that feed off the ground. On the other hand: We have a pair of great spotted woodpeckers that occupy the place for tits, nuthatches and sparrows. They sometimes eat for minutes and don't let the little guys feed.

[@Talonflamez]

@@blueforest2927 that's so kind of her and cute that she calls Jay's food stealers

[@letsgobirding9246]

think of the hundreds of generations of chickadees you guys fueled together!

[@Talonflamez]

let's go birding that comment made me feel so proud of myself thank you

[@Strykenine]

Chickadees, to us: Adorable, industrious arboreal creatures. Chickadees, to insects: Basically a flying Tyrannosaurus.

[@nthgth]

@Mary Smith me too Ms. Smith, food chain to the rescue

[@carlathedestructor2454]

Chickadees are the sweetest little things. Occasionally while I'm putting out a new suet they'll look down at me from the branches and sing at me. Makes me feel like Snow White. Love those little guys!

[@liliyasgardenchannel8876]

Chickadees are one of my favorite birdies♡

[@maryrichardson6029]

Always a pleasure watching your bird videos. Thank you

[@darrenboozer5076]

I just recently started paying attention to the birds around me and the chickadee is an amazing bird

[@enduringbird]

When we put up a new feeder it's ALWAYS the chickadees that find it first. I love to watch them fly. They're so agile and fast and always darting around.

[@fairydustlight3489]

This was wonderful. Thank you for all the time, effort and information you put into your videos for the rest of us to enjoy.

[@scottschaeffer8920]

Oh!! How they love sunflowers, scolding me when I go out to refill the feeder. Wonderful birds!

[@theck672]

Thank you for this wonderful, entertaining and comprehensive educational information about sweet little Chickadees❣️ Fantastic footage and so well put together, jam packed with scenes of their behavior. What a special treat❣️ Thank you so much for this information. I learned so much❣️ I love Chickadees too❣️

[@WonderlustAdventures]

Chickadeees are so hilarious... I can only ever film them 2 seconds a time. 😂"Over here! No, over here! Over here! Over here!"

[@beckirobertson9872]

I really enjoyed this video!

[@Talonflamez]

They are some hyper animals

[@TheArbiter10]

I can spend hours in the woods hanging out with my chickadee friends, and often do. Never a dull moment with these little guys around.

[@davidbono9359]

The Chestnut-backed and Black-capped Chickadees are a constant presence at the feeders in our back yard. I think only the Juncos out-number the Chickadees. Now I have a whole new appreciation for these little guys!

[@141moose]

Can't help but smile anytime a busy flock of chickadees swings through the forest.

[@deejay2838]

These little guys are DEE-lightful ! Thanks Lesley! 🦋💗

[@soundpainter2590]

Thank you Leslie ! The Chickadees are the first to greet me when I put food out for the birds. Their chatter is so cute... It warms my heart on these dreary days ! (As do your Videos ) Daniel C.

[@VanessaG1229]

Such a delightful video. The music suits the chickadees' whimsical nature perfectly. They're one of my favorite birds. So cute and fun to watch.

[@firewaterbydesign]

They are my favorite!! There is something about their tiny bodies and mannerisms that make me adore them. I am fortunate enough to see many of them almost daily, with weather permitting. They feed along side many species at our feeder year round. I am always delighted to watch them.

[@kristeetrisler4942]

They were my mom's favorite bird. Now the family I have living here makes me think of her every day.

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Aww that's sweet ♥️

[@momijiyamanishi4548]

When I was in 4th grade in Astoria Oregon, we had a big walnut tree in the backyard. I would watch the chickadees forage on that tree. They were so cute! I came running into the house and said to my mother mommy when I grow up I want to be a chickadee

[@coldspring624]

Yrs ago one of those little guys sat beside me while I was resting on a beautiful winter day in a small stand of pine.He would come and go landing just 2 or 3 feet away ...the little guy told me there were things in nature I had been overlooking. That was 40 odd yrs ago and I been feeding and paying attention to those little guys ever since .

[@DavidMaurand]

terrific music underlay (to say nothing of the videography)

[@sebathadah1559]

"Bundle of energy" aren't they cute?

[@gettingold59]

Miss Nerd you are just amazing. Well done again

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Thank you :)

[@juliebirb7162]

I just love these tiny blessings so much. Wonderful and entertaining video. Thank you 😊.

[@vrichter2458]

Chickadees are some of my all time favorites... my Grandma's too ❤❤❤

[@XLEGION1]

Love your Bird videos and your collaboration with Nikolas James make these videos very enjoyable to watch.

[@SW13333]

Thanks Leslie👍 - Great video showing us the super energetic and cute little Chickadees. Wish I had them in my area. I never knew how they could lower their body temperature up to 15 degrees! - Stephanie

[@davidbowman4259]

A flock of chickadees came to our wedding 20 years ago!

[@rogerjones332]

Great footage of them gathering nest material 👍

[@de-vine2168]

They are very smart! I caught a few trying to get into a nest of Robin eggs

[@meadowdancerwow]

Thank you so much, Lesley. Your narration and insight to these little birds is a wonderful piece of innocence, a real balm in troubling times.

[@MHarenArt]

The cute little Chickadees have always been a favorite of time! Thanks for sharing!

[@donpowlen]

Thanks Lesley! The information was great! I have always enjoyed the songs and sounds of the Chickadee!

[@juliamahler415]

thank you for a delightful video. Chickadees are year round fun, they love suet at the feeder!

[@stevebrighttheblackguitar653]

Thanks for the wonderful information about these cute little guys i have in abundance in my yard.

[@jenniferaiello5101]

What Smart Birds they are and so Adorable and Cute Looking Too! :)

[@auntmayme8119]

Lesley, I have to tell you this story as I know you would appreciate hearing it. A couple of days ago, several sparrows showed up at my feeder; almost 20 birds. Previously, chickadees, cardinals and blue jays had that spot. Well, these sparrows became quite aggressive, chasing off the chickadees and cardinals so that they couldn’t eat. (I didn’t see any blue jays). I became frustrated as I knew the sparrows were not natural to the area, and are prolific and aggressive; even eating other small birds. I wished so much they would leave! Well, lo and behold. The following day, about 5 blue jays showed up. And all day they were the “police” for the chickadees and cardinals, chasing the sparrows away! The day after that, the sparrows were kinder toward whatever came to the feeder. Leave it to the blue jays to bring back order!

[@MrBisque]

...always a bigger bird! Or a smaller one, my bossy local song sparrow defends his territory against everyone. Tried to chase off a tiny green hummingbird and bit off more than he could chew. She came right back and dived down on him repeatedly, and seems to remember him. She will pause in feeding or gathering webs to swoop on him. I watched her quietly land a foot above him one day. Cocked her head at an angle and I swear she frowned before diving on him. They are both adorable in their irascibility. Even if he's a brat, that song sparrow spends hours every day motorboating around the water pan and fending off dashing suitors appearing in various car mirrors, it's great drama.

[@tburnette910]

Mr Bisque and Beth...SUCH GREAT STORIES!!!

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

Chickadees hold a special place in my heart because it was my mom's nickname for me. The sweetest birds ever, yet so brave and curious. They will stay on the feeder or come down from the trees to the feeders as I am scooping sunflower seeds in. I've had them land on my head to check out what I'm putting out for them to eat! Lol! And their song, I mean come on, how cute is that?!?! It's unmistakable!

[@bobair2]

Chickadees are my favorite little birds and I just adore them and seeing this video only strengthens my affection for chickadees. Chickadees rock! Thanks for putting up this video.

[@marianmoser-otto3590]

I love chickadees. I feed them and enjoy watching them. So cute! 😀

[@StewsChannel]

Cool video! We had a really cold snap here a few weeks ago, -41 Celsius with a windchill of -51 for about a solid week. Our usual Chickadees disappeared and weren't coming to the feeders. I feared that the cold temps had done them in. But, as soon as it warmed up they returned. Tough little birds, I can't even fathom being outside all day long in those temps!

[@JillHarmony]

What a sweet video you've put together Lesley. Chickadee's are my fav and I"ve been hand feeding and putting out their fav everyday to help them through this rather harsh Canadian winter. Thanks to you I now recognize the nut hatches & woodpeckers that love to follow them & get hand fed too.

[@locksbog4270]

Gotta love chickadees !👍😃✌️

[@njg5942]

Who knew chickadees hoarded? We have always wondered what they were eating during those obvious gaps in their use of the feeder, during winter. This is instructive and brilliant and adorable.

[@zeenohaquo7970]

Aww. Nice to watch about my fave bird again. Busy Dees.💞🐥💞

[@michaelsimko7694]

I'm happy to see you did a video on Chickadees. Amazing smart, energetic little birds. A member of their family you don't have that I have here in CT is the Tufted Titmouse. I love observing them and watching videos of them. Very vocal, along with having an attitude for dominating feeders as they scold Chickadees, Finches, and Sparrows, and even harassing squirrels like the way Jays harass Hawks. Interesting fact I found out is that the Tit and Chickadee family is the third smartest bird family in the world.

[@ukknightrider]

So gorgeous ❤️ I’m watching this @ 00:45. Love birds so much. TY for this and all uploads. 🙏✌️

[@Tt-jv9fl]

This is by far my favorite backyard bird! When I whistle and put peanuts out Here they come! SO CUTE!!

[@marybennett8657]

Wow I just love all your videos ♥️

[@Axess-sv8nq]

We have SO many of these! They flock with the Tufted Titmice. You hardly every see the 2 species of bird apart. They're very friendly as well.

[@MrBisque]

going the other direction I have an occasional chickie that tries to join the bushtit pack, the tiny bushtits are remarkably accepting of feeding wing to wing with their giant friend, but eventually it seems the bushtits get a bit too friendly for the stalwart chickadee.

[@scribbleswh2018]

My grandfather would feed the chickadees by hand, he would show me how. I love the chickadees. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@kimhall5304]

Pam H I wish I could learn how to do that Pam h.

[@scribbleswh2018]

Leslie is amazing how she gets them to come to her. Wonder if she would tell us how she does it?

[@daveyjoweaver5183]

One of my favorites! I Love these amazing little birds! Thank You Kindly! DaveyJO in Pa.

[@gordroberts53]

Hi Leslie, good to hear from you and hoping you weren't too buried in the recent blizzards. What a lovely treat for this Sunday afternoon! Always thanks for sharing and Cheers from BC

[@AlexandraStubbs]

I’ve always heard their sweet little peeps up in the trees. But I never knew what birds they were. Thank you always for your wonderful videos and great education.

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

You are very welcome 🐦🙂

[@leester9487]

Perfect music for the video.

[@jongalt9038]

The picillo sounding instrument was great for birding and likely attracted quite a few chickadees! Johann Strauss might be nice during times when NJ was unavailable. Rimsky-Korsakov too.

[@mskristy9702]

Thank you for your videos and info. I live in florida and have been watching these beautiful chickadees come to my feeders, among others. I am happy to know more about them! They are truly a joy to watch.

[@Kaleidofy.FaeryGirL13]

Pretty lil birds! Thanks 4 the video.😍😘😘

[@monicapushkin3274]

In a little bird book I have, chickadees were described as having a "confiding" nature. That is such a good description!

[@SuperDesignChick]

My favorite bird! Love them sooooo much!

[@ZacharyCrowe]

One of my absolute favorite birds! Along with my 4th generation of Carolina Wrens that nest on our porch in a basket every year.

[@kirkygirl]

The chickadees around my parents' home are so cute. They will fly all around the eaves in the autumn and winter looking for any spiders or bugs that have crawled up there to get out of the elements. My mom also hangs a suet feeder off a window on the second floor of their house. This lets us see the chickadees feeding their babies in the late spring and early summer.

[@SN-xw5bv]

Shirts look cute, about nourishing items for birds and or feeders!

[@michaelhargis7036]

Great video Lesley. I'm a fan of the Chickadees for sure. But love them little Junkos. Their tiny size, color and their song.

[@robbabcock_]

Such beautiful little birds!

[@revenevan11]

My dad and I built a new bird feeder this winter, and a few days ago I saw these busy birds paying it a visit, and managed to find out what they were by googling for their distinct head coloration. And now I just found this video, I'm so happy to learn more about them and it totally explains why they never seem to hold still at the feeder and instead always keep flitting to and fro. Thanks for making this, I'm going to share it with my dad and my sister and niece and nephews!

[@kevinchaves2166]

Nice 😃🐦🐤

[@marcelcanuck]

iv'e noticed that they always get really busy at the feeders 1 hrs. before sundown and first thing in the morning , Chickadees and Nuthatches are my favorites

[@ChristopherHarle41048]

Enjoyed this video very much. Wonderful photography, interesting commentary and pleasant background music.

[@NamedForANightmare]

Chickadees are my favourite, they're so cute. We had a nest in and old tree in our front garden, got to see the little chicks grow up which was awesome.

[@getsmart3701]

Awesome and beautiful...video and bird.

[@MjikThize]

I love watching our chickidees and nuthatches that we've been feeding for years. We've watched them raise several broods and now 2 years ago Mr and Mrs Finch (a pair of House Finches) moved into the neighborhood and brightened things up with their frequent loud and beautiful chattery songs. There seems to be something about chickidees bringing in other small birds. We've even got several species of sparrows that frequent our feeders

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Yes that is true the chickadees really do seem to bring in other birds. :)

[@Emily-pi8xe]

They're so busy!!! They are super hard to photograph ❤

[@johnlewton3918]

wonderful photography and music

[@jeannel2515]

I have always loved chickadees Lesley, but never knew that much about them. Thanks as always for your beautiful filming and fascinating fun facts. 👍

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

You are quite welcome :)

[@donnalynpompper4308]

My cat, Finney, LOVES your channel! So do I. Thank you!

Great video. Thank you so much for all you do for them.

[@JA51711]

💖I adore these little angels

[@alisonbraun5358]

Black cap chickadee are my favorite!!!! I had so many of them at my old place. I moved last year, less than a mile away, but I am struggling to attract them now :(

[@YinYogawithTrishy]

Omg they are the cutest teeny little power houses!!! 💕❤️💕❤️

[@kevindelaney1951]

Always informative. Always a pleasure to watch.

[@johnj.flanagan-hymnsoffaith]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Chickadees, and other bird videos. It is very educational and gives viewers insights into the natural world.

[@lynnstillwell4516]

Some of my favorite little birds! Great video!

[@DavidCollin]

Another great video, Leslie. Great photography. The new music in the intro and throughout is great too. Takes the videos to an new level.

[@organtunes]

This fantastic video just flew by so fast! Beautiful videography & Nikolas James' music was terrific. I just love your videos, Lesley. Thank you so much. Take care & stay warm. Blessings always. ♥

[@lisafox1001]

I love your posts LTBN! I also adore chickadees. Their cuteness, their songs, the fact that they are sentinels for all birds, their friendliness with humans... did I mention cuteness?

[@iuliancosman637]

So beautiful bird,nice video thank you.

[@PeekabooCockatiel]

I love your videos. Thank you so much. This is another gem. ❤️

[@bgastein]

The music was beautiful , but I missed your usual opening music. I love those little chick a dees. They are busy little creatures. Thank you for sharing!

[@PJ-si2po]

Yesterday I stopped about ten feet from the feeder to look and talk to the Chickadees and one of them came and landed on my shoulder, was pretty cool I thought I had seen a Nuthatch on the stump at the beginning of the video, they come around once a while at the feeder Thanks again for the video

[@johnbeavin9170]

lovely little birds. and very agile too.

[@chazjr2390]

I love Chickadees... we have two that come to our feeder, which I have named R2-D2 and BB-8... because that's what they sound like to me. So cute!!!

[@goog1967]

Our local park here in British Columbia has so many Black Capped and Chestnut Chickadees and most hand feed all year round with the Nuthatches as well.

[@rickcroucher]

A snow covered paradise. I do love your videos.
