What's a Chickadee?
Little round songbirds that live in forests, parks, and backyards across North America — curious, clever, and astonishingly tough through winter. Here's what makes them special:
The Chickadee agent
Our resident bird only talks about chickadees — the 7 species, their calls, their winter tricks, and where to find them. Ask away.
The whole family
Nature made one perfect little bird… then released it in seven editions. Learn the field marks and you'll know which one just landed at your feeder.
Which one's your favorite? Each of the 7 chickadees here has its own original hand-drawn tee — one species, one true fact, ready to wear. Take your little chickadee home.
Out in the field
Chickadees are active all year and quick to visit feeders. See which chickadees birders have spotted near you in the last two weeks — then go find one yourself.

Tips for your first sighting
A gentle reminder: these are wild birds, not pets. Watch, listen, and let them come to you — never grab, hold, or crowd a chickadee, and leave their habitat as you found it. Respect is what keeps them wild.
From one young birder
This whole place — the bird, the facts, the field guide, the shop — started with one kid's love of chickadees. Every tee features a single species and a true fact about it, hand-illustrated and ready to wear. Adopt one and you're not just getting a great shirt; you're cheering on a young birder chasing a big idea. chick-a-dee-dee-dee!
