IF YOU FEED SUNFLOWER SEEDS YOU CAN ATTRACT CHICKADEES. THE CHICKADEE SEEMS TO BE A BIRD THAT ALMOST ENJOYS WINTER. IT FEEDS ALL DAY AND AT NIGHT IT ACTUALLY ALMOST GOES INTO A STATE OF HIBERNATION TO SURVIVE THE COLD. MANY YEARS AGO OUR DAUGHTER ACTUALLY GOT A CHICKADEE TO EAT OUT OF HER HAND. SHE PUT SUNFLOWER SEEDS IN THE PALM OF HER GLOVE-HELD HER HAD OUT FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER-AND A CHICKADEE BEGAN TO LAND ON HER FINGERS AND STEAL ONE SUNFLOWER SEED AT A TIME. CHICKADEES MAKE WINTER BEARABLE.
