Lots of people will tell you that chickadees are their favorite feeder birds. They are easily attracted, and can often be hand-tamed. Cheerful as a Christmas card, chickadees are versatile acrobats who can either perch or hang upside-down to glean seeds from your feeder.
Step1
Plant trees and bushes that attract chickadees. Depending on the species in your area, these can include pine, hemlock and birch trees, and berry-bearing plants.
Step2
Buy a bird feeder. Because chickadees are so physically versatile, you can use tube, domed, satellite, hopper or platform feeders with equal success.
Step3
Fill the feeders with black-oil sunflower seeds or shelled peanuts.
Step4
Put up a suet feeder, or hang pieces of suet in a mesh bag from a tree branch.
Step5
Make a mix of peanut butter and birdseed and spread it on a tree limb or make "cakes" to hang in a mesh bag.
Step6
Put up a chickadee nesting box in the spring. Make sure it has the exact dimensions specified for a chickadee.
