There is the tiniest of drops on the end of this Black-capped Chickadee's bill and it looks impressively sharp. They are such pretty little creatures! And they are smarter than we imagined! Check out the information below, some 'Cool Facts' from "The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, All About Birds" Press here for Link

•The Black-Capped Chickadee hides seeds and other food items to eat later. Each item is placed in a different spot and the chickadee can remember thousands of hiding places.

•Every autumn Black-capped Chickadees allow brain neurons containing old information to die, replacing them with new neurons so they can adapt to changes in their social flocks and environment even with their tiny brains.

•Chickadee calls are complex and language-like, communicating information on identity and recognition of other flocks as well as predator alarms and contact calls. The more dee notes in a chickadee-dee-dee call, the higher the threat level.
