Chickadee bird feeders are extremely important if you
want to have the lovely sound of the chickadee in your yard.
With a chickadee bird feeder you can attract not only chickadees to
your yard but also woodpeckers
and nuthatches.
A chickadee feeder can be a suet
bird feeder which will attract woodpeckers and nuthatches.
Or a chickadee bird feeder can be a tube feeder which will also
attract other small birds like finches.
Chickadees need constant food in the winter.
They do not have an internal bag for storing their food so they
need to eat, then digest then eat again.
That is why in the winter you have a suet bird feeder.
A suet bird feeder will help the chickadee gain the fat that they
need to survive and to stay warm. When
you have a chickadee bird feeder you should make sure that it is a squirrel
proof bird feeder as well. There
are many different types of suet bird feeders that will accomplish this
with ease.
Chickadees will eat from a hanging
bird feeder or a platform
bird feeder. With a
chickadee bird feeder it is a good to have sunflowers seeds and tree nuts.
Not only will you attract a chickadee to your bird feeder but you
will likely see tufted titmouse
and nuthatches because these bird tend to forage together in mixed
flocks.
If you want to have chickadees around then it is good
to have a bird feeder that is for
chickadees, or a style that will keep them full of seed.
If you want a chickadee as a friend they can be trained to eat out
of your hand, so once your bird feeder is in place and you have chickadees
visiting your back yard try to train them to eat from your hand!
