If you have a sick or injured bird in your possession I can not help this bird in any way it is strongly advised to contact a local vet or wildlife official before any decisions are made. It is very easy to do more harm than good when handling any wildlife.

I’m a bird feeding person who attracts a large number of diverse species and am always amazed that most people know very little and could not care less about learning about our feathered friends. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us fellow birders.

Thank you so much for this. I discovered long ago that the two tone call at 3:14 is what we hear most in our area of IL. Many years ago, I would hear it so often it annoyed me. Then...I had a breakdown as never before. I became suicidal and had to enter a psychiatric facility. I was in for 9 days. When I came home, this chickadee call was the first thing I heard when I got out of the car. My heart filled with peace and joy. It was so full. This little bird changed my life and helped to save it. Thank you for helping me remember this special love I have for them

The one call I absolutely love is the one a chickadee makes when it wrestles a sunflower out of the feeder. It does not happen with every chickadee. Only one (I am surmising) that may not be used to the feeder. I call it a victory cheep. They grab the seed and fly off calling out their victory. It is a gleeful call. These are my most favorite and I am very protective of them. I try to create feeders that allow them free access but limit larger birds.

When a black-capped chickadee sings his two-note descending call outside my office window, sometimes I play G6, F6 in a flute voice on my keyboard, and sometimes he answers me. Today he changed his call and flew off to a different tree. I wondered what we were talking about! I found your wonderful video and learned that his answer was a gargle call. He might have been defending his territory against my piano! Thanks for teaching us about chickadee calls!

Love the febee sound...we tend to call them “swing set birds” because it sounds like a slightly squeaky park swing in action.

[kevindarroch]

These sweet small, petit animals have always brightened my heart!

[jennamarynsierra]

I love the description of the fee bee as “hey sweetie!” So cute. I’ll never unhear that.

[matthewharvey]

Such cute little birds! Especially their calls make them so innocent! Another great video Lesley!

[HeidiSue]

The Black Capped Chickadee is my favorite bird. I love the fee bee call best of all, and have answered them many times myself. It's fun getting in a dialogue, and I once had a chickadee follow me along while I was walking and calling back and forth with him. He flitted along among the trees while I walked along.

[taylormurray]

I had been searching high and low to figure out the bird that made the fee bee sound!! Thank you!!

[TechOutAdam]

I see them everyday on my walks. They hang high and low all over the trees. I absolutely love them. Sometimes they build a nest outside my office window. They're truly special. So grateful for them everyday on my walks. ❤

[jgedutis]

The black capped chickadee is my favorite bird. I feed them out of my hand on a daily basis. Chickadees are so cute and friendly.

[JillHarmony]

I love their little quiet chatters. When I go to feed them and reload a little feeder in the tree, they come closer with this type of chatter. It makes me feel part of the crowd and they seem happy to see me, telling others food has arrived. This happy chatter is like a thank you too. My fave birds!

[wolfmangoland]

I love the song of the black-capped chickadee. Even during the winter months in -20 Fahrenheit, I see and hear these cute little birds happily chirp in my backyard.
Thank you for posting this video.

[missanella]

I can not get enough of these little tiny fluffy feather babies 🥰😍🐦💛
When I get their feeders refilled I hear the *"cheek a dee"* and I interpreted that as "they are talking to me and saying thank you" 💛🐦🥰
I just saw a Townsend Warbler male for the first time ever and it took my breath away how adorable they are 🥰💕🐦🧡💙

Rarely see chickadees featured, so infinitely grateful for this showing. From 2000-2004 lived in Colorado. Had a wonderful back deck dedicated to all sorts of birds (unless the bear reached it first). When I finished setting out the various seeds & grains in their different feeders, I then held a small amount of seed in my palm. I had to totally quiet my mind, and be very still. There was one particular chickadee who had become comfortable landing on my palm and feeding itself. It not only gave me the gift of its landing, but with the amount of LOVE pouring through its tiny feet. That was unexpected ~ and ALWAYS received with Great Gratitude.

Turns out, I have been whistling for my sweetie (mostly in stores to get his attention!) The fee bee-ee song. It works! It either lets him know where I am in the store or I just need him to look up at me. This is better than yelling his name.

[Sealust]

I've got the biggest smile on my face right now. Joy in my heart just listening to this precious little bird calling out. ❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤
