The Amazing Chickadee

Caching

It’s that time of year, the birds are caching seeds away for winter. Here is an amazing fact about one of favorite year round residents!
Chickadees’ brains grow in late summer and fall, specifically the hippocampus, to increase their spatial memory for caching food. This part of the brain grows by up to 30% to help them remember the locations of thousands of seeds they stash for the winter. In the spring, when their food supply is no longer dependent on caches, the hippocampus shrinks back to its normal size. Include premium black oil seed in your feeder!
