Most Important Resources

This is a collection of our most popular, most important chickadee resources. While some of these resources pertain to all bird species, they are here because they are also applicable to chickadees.

Chickadee Housing

Learn about what chickadee houses to buy, how chickadees behave in their houses, the distance to set chickadee nest boxes apart and more. In this section, we will continue compiling resources dedicated to chickadee nest boxes/housing.

Chickadee Predator Protection

Protecting chickadees from threats is very important. This section has our library of guides dedicated to protection from predators. Learn about what kinds of predators threaten chickadees and what the best means of protection are.

Managing Chickadees and Native Competition Species

Chickadees face a lot of threats, not just from predators but also from competing cavity nesting birds. This section talks strictly about the different cavity birds that compete with chickadees, and how sometimes chickadees come into competition with others.

Our goal is peace while not overcontroling nature. We can do our best to protect each bird and their active nest, and after that, it’s up to nature. Sometimes things go wrong, but it is important not to hate birds for doing what is in their nature nor to take your anger out on them.

Managing Chickadees and Invasive Species (House Sparrows and Starlings)

House sparrows and European starlings have taken a toll on native birds. These invasive species not only kill native cavity nesting birds like chickadees, but have been known to kill robins in their nest. This section is all about helping chickadees when it comes to invasive bird species in North America.

Monitoring Chickadee Nests

Just like with bluebirds, monitoring chickadees can really help their nests succeed. Here are articles about how to monitor bird nests, and use nest cams for monitoring.

Chickadee Video Library
