Fun Facts About the Song of Chickadees
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2024
- Did you know? Of the 7 chickadee species in NA 3 of them have 2 songs, one being the whistled Feebee song and the other being a call known as the gargle call. Only the Black-capped, Carolina, and Mountain chickadees use these two songs. The other four species don't.

Bird up
Ya know, I would love it if one day you develop a t-shirt and mug that have photos of your treasured blue jays with their names underneath their pic, and or one with photos of multiple species of birds like blue jays, chickadees, nuthatches, finches etc. I almost made myself a shirt with my own photos but I would love to give to you instead. Unfortunately the shirts you have available are a bit too cutesy for my taste. I don’t want that to sound negative because that isn’t me. I just wanted you to know I would prefer real bird photos. I’m sure if I want it then I’m not the only one.🤗
Lady love your videos.
I've always loved bird song. Especially Crows caw caw caw.. it was the only call or song I definitely knew the source.
Chickadee Dee Dee never occured to me ,just thought it was their name. Go figure I've heard this all my life.
Thanks ! You're a pretty cool chickadee dee dee !
😎🐦

Lesley have you ever seen a chickadee drink humming bird food? I have 1 fledging chickadee spending more time at the hummingbird feeder then at the sunflower & Niger seed feeder. Yesterday he drained it and before I could refill it the hummingbird got emotional and attacked the fledgling with me in the middle, lol I had to intervene and fill the feeder fast, lol I never seen a chickadee drink nectar before, have you heard of this before? A chickadee with a sweet tooth?
Chicka-dee-dee-dee!! The cutest little things!!
Chickadees have to be one of my favorite birds!!! They’re so adorable!!!
@shut beak Little owls are adorable, too, but they will eat you.
Rhoda Watkins and...?
I love Chickadees and Cardinals!!!
💞🕊💞🕊💞🕊💞🕊💞🕊💞🕊💞
As a little girl I've herd this bird before...it's good to finally know what bird it belongs too.
I can now start my Monday as I have had my Sunday one week fill up of Miss Nerd. Thks
Aww. You're very welcome :)
@@LesleytheBirdNerd I have one of your shirt it's great 👍😊
Who is the Disney Princess hand-feeding those Chickadees? That is just the coolest thing ever!
Such cute little "b-orbs"🥰Little feather orbs, and so sweet!
*LoL...great choice of music...fits perfectly.*
*Just got back from the cabin, re-stoked my gray jay and hummingbird feeders*
*My Gray Jays have two babies I've seen so far...hope there's more!*
I just have to say, while I want you to continue filming and narrating your channel videos, you should be narrating most of everything else, too. Such a great, clear voice.
Thank you, Jenn.
@@LesleytheBirdNerd I know I should just leave it at that, lol, but I'm curious if you've ever tried to do professional narration? If you haven't, you should.
I totally agree. Also what a great voice @LesleytheBirdNerd and you would rock at being a voice over in audible books too. That industry is huge!
I love the info you provide.. but I gotta ask.. what is it like when the birds land on your hand?? I would be crying from such pure joy.. thanks fir all you do..
It's very gentle and slightly tickly sometimes if they are moving around. It's just so darn awesome and cute. :)
Several people can do this in Cape Breton, NS.
Yes, I am just AWE-STRUCK that they land on your hand and feed...
JOY beyond words!!! 💞🕊💞
TY, Lord, 4 the Gift of Nature...
The chickadees in my area (Reno NV) sing the feebee song as FEE bee-bee. When I was a kid I thought they were saying "cheez-bur-ger!"
Their song really cheers me up!!1!1!
I just put up a smol feeder (I live in Montana) with sunflower seeds and for some amazing reason only the chickadees come. I hear their calls all day. They are such little bundles of cuteness.
I'm in North Texas, we have these beauties living under our front porch. I love these black capped chickadees. Such sweet birds. It's so hot here, so we love keeping the birdbath filled with clean water, and the feeders filled with seed. Love the birds 😍 Thanks for your informative videos.
You brought me a peace ☮️ and comfort with this video about Chickadees 🐤 Thank You! 🥰
Well that is awesome to know. :) I"m glad it made you feel good.
Chickadees are just the cutest!
Chicadees are cool and fairly fearless!🌿
We have a couple of blacked capped chickadees that visit our feeder frequently, and they have the whistle song. I can’t say I’ve heard them gargle, but we have definitely heard that beautiful whistle.🥰
Almost 100,000 subs! I saw/heard something really interesting with my bird buddies recently. I have lots of species that hang out in my backyard. The newest additions are a cat-bird couple. They are the jazz singers of the bird world and they like to imitate different sounds. My chickadees are friendly and stay close by when I am outside. I give them chopped walnuts and pecans, they know I'm their buddy! Anyhow Bertie (dee) was doing his fee-bee when very close by we heard a very loud FEE-BEE with a different pitch. Bertie kind of jumped out of his feathers and looked at me like "whhaattt?" I'm like "I don't know, dude!" Bertie rolls out another fee-bee, to be answered by FEE-BEEEE. This time I catch it, it's one of the cat-birds! He is 6 ft away, looking all pleased with himself. Bertie has figured it out as well. He curses and swears, a double or triple gargle, and flies into the tall cedars. Cat-bird then jumps into the bird bath. I don't know if it was a deliberate imitation or just random mimicry but I think cat-bird punked Bertie!!! That's OK Bertie, I meowed at cat-bird to mess with him a bit.
Loved your story and so glad you're looking out for your Bertie-dee! ... Keep messing w/that Cat-Bird!!!
I love birds with beautiful songs. Thanks for sharing them on TH-cam.
Best possible video to end this day, amazing
Awesome. Thanks
@@LesleytheBirdNerd it's impressive how you know all of them by their own names when you go out
Always Cool Lesley
Thank You
You're welcome. Thanks for the nice comment
Dee dee's rock! Love these little guys! 👍😃✌️
Such an adorable bird! Our area has been gifted a couple this summer and I hear its songs from time to time.
Bobolink has my favorite bird call. Just a bizarre, bubbly symphony with a splash of techno.
Thank you so much. My mom used to call my daughter her little chickadee 🐤
Thank you, Lesley, for this and your other vids. You have made me fall in love with wild birds all over again! Big hug from Detroit! BTW, I do have a pet male cardinal.
They are so adorable and I love hearing then outside my window!
Like I said in the past very educational always learning .
Very interesting! Thanks a bunch Lesley! They are little cuties!
Adorable! I've noticed, when filling up their feed ball with black oil sunflower seeds, they love to watch and comment. Two in particular use this call, but it has a bit more of excitement or louder twill at the end, and also brings even more of their tribe in They are all black hats will even land on my hat waiting for me to get my hand out with seeds. Incredible personality and heartwarmers. Thanks for another wonderful peek into their lives.
Wow, Jill...How awesome! */:)
Your bird friend is soooooo cute! I just realized the birds on my favorite greeting card are chickadees! I bought the card when I was in Big Bend National Park and kept it for years, finally framed it and hanging on the wall now. Many Thanks for the video!
I have two kinds of chickadee, the Black-capped and the smaller Chestnut-backed, and over fifteen years or so, I have seen three chickadees who were hybrids of the two species. The Chestnuts are ridiculously friendly. When I am working on my laptop on the deck, sometimes a Chestnut will land on the monitor and watch me, staring at my face. They are very easy to hand-tame (it was really their own idea) and they often linger on the hand and study me curiously. They have a call like "SOOT-sweet" that they use as a greeting, including to greet me. And they have a lot of complicated "gargles." Never heard them make anything like fee-be, though.
Yes! ...to all....thank you Lesley! 😊😊😊😊
You had me at....I’m from Newfoundland
Leslie you Are so lovely🙌🌈❣️this was such a gorgeous Video to view and chickadees, Always melts my heart💞💕who doesn’t ADORE CHICKADEES😃😊beautiful scenery certainly deserves a 👍🏼 &⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❣️🙌🌈UR AWESOME😉Blessings🙌❣️
MEGADITTO!!! Lesley's videos make my 💓sing! ... like that chickadee!💞
I got to see a brood of 4 Robins take flight from the nest, and I personally saw the last 2 join their mom or dad and a few other older robins at the top of a 40 foot pine for their first flight to join their elders. I had off and on, tossed worms from our flower beds to the male? (it was the smaller of the 2 parents) I think, maybe Lesley knows which is larger. However, they were livid when I came out while the little ones left the nest, I pursued one baby out of the neighbors garage and put her back in my yard because we have no pets that would harm them and are enclosed. After that, it took an hour and I watched it fly up to the tree, and 3 other robins converged who could fly well, so I think they were mutually supportive of each other's families. There's another nest somewhere close by, they watch me for worms and bugs I toss them, and I also have flicked cherries out of the seed bag for them. They love those. I provide seed for the other birds so they can have an easier go at it during nesting, not just the winter. In the city of Columbus Ohio, we get Chickadees in the winter feeder for about a month. Mostly the darn invasive english sparrows, some cardinals, some of the european red headed sparrows are around and can stand up to the english sparrows, but that's it. And we get a small woodpecker. That's it for the city.
Heal quickly, Leslie! Your videos are wonderful. They are consistently high quality, informative and affectionate. I’ve become a consummate bird nerd!
Lots of Carolina Chick-a-dees at our feeder today on coastal Georgia. The tree is alive with the gargle song. So cute. I always think of Snow White (the old movie) when I see the birds land on your palm. As a girl, that was one of the reasons Snow White was my favorite princess. The birds would light on her finger. :)
I'm sooo pleased that I came across your bird videos :-) Birds make me so happy, both with their beauty, and their chatter! Keep 'em coming.. PeAcE!
Hope your finger heals quickly. When I broke one many years ago I could not bend it or make a fist after seven weeks in a splint. I got some modeling clay and squeezed it as best I could almost every waking moment. I think that helped to rapidly rehab the function of my finger and hand. Good luck and thanks for sharing. I recently introduced my eleven-year-old granddaughter to your TH-cam channel and she loves it.
I was watching this outside in my yard. I live in the woods. Oh my gosh, I really set off the chickadees!!! They were all coming around singing and checking things out! It was so cute. I may have created some territorial issues! Anyway, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos.. It is hard to find structured well made education on bird species of my area in Michigan. We have many of the same birds with a few that you have and I don’t see in my area. But I am sure you must do a ton of research for us and I appreciate it. Thank you.
I love chickadees so much 💕
Lovely video about Chickadees. Reminds me of winter time of my childhood in Michigan, there were always the song of them in winter
I didn’t know chickadees were real. Cute name for a cute little bird.
The only species we have is the little Carolina. I love these little birds! Thanks for the information and beautiful videography!
Chickadees
Cute little birds
Energetic
Very smart
Interesting personalities
Chicka-dee-dee-dee is a Chickadee
And their cousins, Titmice, really are something else.
Hope you’re feeling better very soon Lesley, and thank you for sharing 😊
awwww!!! Love them so much! My annual backyard nesting chickadees are going strong bless ‘em! This was very informative - thank you! ❤️
Chick-a-dee's are my absolute favorite bird!
Lesley, I enjoyed this one and was educational. Please do more on Chickadees. We have a lot of them in our backyard and love listening to them and their different calls and want to learn more.
Great video! I hear these calls all the time here in Indiana. Thanks for making these entertaining and informative videos!
THank and you are very welcome
How dang cute can ya get 😩‼️ they need ice cream cones!!!🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦!!! Thanks for sharing!!!♥️🙋
I really love your videos! They are super relaxing and calming.You have really inspired me to start birding recently! If you want to, Could you please make a video about how you created your incredible friendship with birds? I would really appreciate that
Most interesting, and the photography was amazing. I do enjoy these birds.
Thank you so much for the informative video! Lots of Chickadee, Titmice, and Nuthatch species right here in my southern Oregon backyard and can't get enough of their cute little sounds and songs. We have both, if not three, species of Chickadee (can't tell if a Mountain Chickadee or two has passed through). Because my slider doors are open, seems my Chickadees are all upset after hearing your cuties from Canada invade their air space. LOL!
No way! That is so cute
I'm sooo jealous...and happy 4u -- all at the same time! How wonderful!💖
Some birds are like the real life bards of nature. Instead of violence they have a battle of the bands.
What a lovely video! Your knowledge of birds is amazing😀. Thank you!
Thanks. I love black capped chickadees since they're the state bird of Massachusetts.
My grandpa used to answer the fee-bee song by whistling it at a higher pitch, and they used to get pretty riled up! lol
Lesley, I Love my Black Caps, they are so friendly and definitely not shy. Marvelous videos and information throughout your channel.
Had to order a Bird Nerd Life hoodie, can't wait! B)
Thank for your excellent videos. I just discovered them & find them much more informative about bird songs & behavior than my bird books.
Thank you bird lady that was fascinating
It's so cool how similar to human language birdsong can be. There are even regional dialects and "accents"-- the Chickadees where I live have slightly different fee-bee and gargle calls than the little ones in your videos.
Borbs! Cute, round, soft, precious chickadee burbies. I loved this, Lesley. You're so informative and I enjoy watching your film work. Thank you.
What a sweet song too, it truly is music to my ears.💖
I love Chickadees! Your videos are so beautiful and informative.
One of my Favorites ♥️
Local chickadees in Southwestern BC sing a different descending interval, usually a minor third.
Thank you again and again - Happy Birding 🎆🎇🔆☮🔆🎇🎆
So sweet😊 their songs are 😊
aaah, the soothing peace of the Bird Nerd. xo
Hello @
LesleytheBirdNerd .. I have noticed over my decades of Birding that the "Phee-Be" call is used more in the Spring in my Area, The Bruce Peninsula. It appears to me that more Single Birds/Males?? use it to call in a mate. I have tried this several times in the Spring , and almost always get a Bird to land near me to investigate, with no Aggressive calls or actions from them. Just Curious, Happy Birds wanting a new friend. Some will even land on me trying to find the "Caller" !!. Great Work Lesley and thanks for Sharing !!...P.S.>> I would like to add that sometimes the Call is Modified, in my area, to a "Phee-be-be"
God bless you! Love these cuties!! Thank you for your work!!!
I love the way they sound its soothing
Great video!! So cute! You gotta love these friendly birds, they’re adorable! 😍🥰🥰. Thanks for the awesome videos lately Leslie!
My grandmother always described the whistle song as sounding like PEEE-WEEE.
they have little black masks, so cute.
Gotta be safe from the 'rona of course 😄
My cat is black and white, her head top and chin being black, so she looks a lot like the Carolina chickadees that stop at the window feeder. She knows their calls now and goes over to see them. The male of the pair gargles really loud! I know him and the male cardinal that chips while eating at my ground and window feeders without seeing them :D
Great little video Lesley! Thank you for sharing it with us!💖👌👍😎JP
What a beauty and thank you for your work!
Love these guys. They even came to our wedding in Seattle 20 years ago.
Chicka-dee-dee-dee!!dee!!! An extra dee in eastern NC.
Hi Les. Thank you for all of your wonderful work. I have learned much from your videos. Your insights are remarkable. I live near Ann Arbor Michigan and we have Chickadees that sing for us around our feeders and yard. They make all of the sounds you recorded for us in this video. They are very bold and get close to me, especially when the feeders are empty. Interestingly I have seen every species here that you have where you are. They seem to have a huge range. My grand father came from Prince Edward Island, sort of in your neck of the woods. Best wishes, Ted N.
Lesley...I gave a Kids story about the Chickadees, their calls, languages and how to communicate and warn others to dangers....So everyone in our church knows where I'm learning awesome info re the birds...Lots of people in our church are in to nature.
I also make videos of my own birds and they always include a link to your website.
Recently had Evening Grosbeaks arrive...YIKES...noisy messy birds, but LOVE them.
They arrived early Mothers Day morning...one female scout arrived, enjoyed a few sunflower seeds I had in special feeders I had made just for them....30 lbs black oils seeds later, they flew the coup and today only one or two left and I'm sad...BUT apparently they chased away
my Chic'aVees...and Nuthatches...i'm sure they'll be back soon as now the American Gold Finches have arrived. I'm a dedicated bird watcher/feeder, but I'm not savvy when comes to names...I've identified over 70 species over the years we've lived here, edge of forest, have a nice size koi pond w 2 waterfall features, w small upper ponds the birds LOVE splashing around in. I can't imagine life without my feathered friends.
I'm trying to set up my going LIVE with music playing on my piano and birds just outside the windows...I feel so blessed to live where birds love to come visit EXCEPT the Blue Heron...grrrr. I don't mind them nabbing a small goldfish or two...BUT 60 of my huge 8" long Goldfish...also have an American Bald Eagle here every so often...don't mind them either...
and the noisiest, squakiest bird i've ever had come visit...Belted King Fisher. That bird tried attacking me when I came near HIS feeding pond...was funny...But it was gone before I could get my camera out...then a week later it returned and I got just a few seconds of it squaking...
I've told others that if the birds could spread a bad virus to humans...I'd rather take my chances as life without birds wouldn't be as wonderful as it is now.
Thank you for all you have to share.
Can you tell me about the Evening Grosbeaks? And where the heck do they go?
I'm not sure if we could handle them being here months on end...the 2 weeks they've been here has been very noisy!...and huge messes...I clean the special feeders every few hours, sanitize, then fill with more sunflower seeds...also having 20 banded PIGeons...i told friends if we feed them well enough and things get bad...we'll have some squabe for dinner...NOT.
We're mostly vegan diet around here....so...

Very interesting, beautiful birds.
I clicked on this video so fast. I always watch your videos when I'm feeling down. I think chickadees are my favourite bird, with the junco coming in second.
Brynh1ld. Yes! And hummingbirds, Stellar jays and killdeer. Hawks. Kingfishers: the original Woody (not) Woodpecker. Barn swallows, swifts and bluebirds.
Much happy birding!
🐦(Thanks, Lesley)🐤
Precious birds, precious facts and stats :D They are all such beautiful birdies ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
This reminds me of the song little bird, little bird by Elizabeth Mitchell. Great video.
I absolutely love the gargle call!
So relaxing to watch and hear. Thanks for the recording!
Great as usual. Thank you so much for the encyclopedic knowledge delivered with fantastic narration that makes it such a joy to listen to. Watching the video is icing on the cake. You're a master of the craft!
I learn a lot here. Thanks, Lesley!
Nice captures, sound and picture.
I am in search of an explanation about one sound produced by Corvus corax. I look around for more than 20 years now and never found any recording of that sound anywhere and I am not equipped to record such sound. I have asked the question on few youtube channels now with no feedback whatsoever. When I listen at official recordings from Cornell or Smithsonian I found nothing like it at the time. I live in southern Quebec, half way between Montreal and Ottawa in the small mountains we have here. Around my place it is mostly mixed forest with a lot of lakes and rivers and many cabins. That sound now : it is a deep low sound (I first qualified this sound for myself as a sonar beep only in low pitch) the feeling is always they are probing for something, once each 5 to 20 seconds, and a single note. To my ears it is like the farthest left note on a piano. I hear this sound done only by birds gliding or slow flight mode alone at an altitude 1,5 to 3 times the canopy. Those birds were always alone, flying in straight line as much as I can see, crossing roads, patch of forest, rivers, swamp... I do not know if it can be heard from a distance, like a kilometer, because I heard it shortly before I see the bird and few seconds after they pass me. Flights were mostly following the valley's sides, one or the other (they are not parallel) It is of some interest to me since it is the only place I've heard that sound. If you have any kind of info to help me understand or confirm this, I'll be so happy.
Thanks for Chickadee facts!! I LOVE Chickadees cardinals AND blue jays.. I just cant pick a favorite but if I had to pick it would be my Orioles first year I've seen them and they LOVE the nectar and grape jelly
Q: why do u like Blue Jay's? They always run off the other birds?
@@debrahouston2884 In western Oregon, we have scrub jays (pretty, but boring, imo) AND Stellar Jays; blue to blue- black, with a crest. They are gorgeous, and have a funny, amazingly rude, bossy vocabulary.
If you set up camp near a nest or feed source, you'll hear it! Love 'em. I talk back.
Can't help it! 💕🐦
Sounds like they sing.."You Who"😀 Good video!
well i guess the sun has gotten into you, Lesley. you sound much happier.
that’s great. love you and the channel so.
Lesley, bravo on all your videos! I enjoy them so much!! They're perfect for all ages
🇨🇦 Hope you heal quickly. Your video community will understand-you’ll record and post as you can! Be blessed, Lesley.
