- The Black-capped Chickadee has a short neck and a large head, giving it a rather spherical body shape.
- Chickadees aren't the most fluid flyers, often they bounce around while flying in flocks and on't stay long at a feeder; rather, they'll grap a seed to eat elsewhere.
- Black-capped Chickadees also sore feed, except they don't in one place, Typically they'll hide seeds in different spots and can remember thousands of these hiding spots.
- Chickadee calls are complex but work effectively. They have communicating information, predator alarms, as well as contact calls. The more "dee" notes in a Chickadee's call means a higher level of threat.
