Darn Americans - we always think we're the center of the universe, don't we?  This link tells about the Carolina chickadee, which is the one we have here: www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Carolina_Chickadee/idThey are cute little things and very brave. I've had a couple in rehab, and they seem to do a lot better than many other species in their temporary captivity. |

Up here in the northeastern U.S. where I live, we have the similar black-capped chickadee. Ralph can do an imitation of the dee-dee-dee-dee-dee call, and usually announces it first by saying "chickadee!" Of course, with his gruff voice, Ralph sounds like a chickadee with a head cold.  Taking a more charitable view of us Americans, one might say that we tend to forget-- or simply aren't aware-- that not every country in the world has the same wild birds that we see.  Even different parts of the U.S. have different wild bird populations. The blue jay that we mentioned isn't found in the western U.S. |

Oh, they're cute, thanks Easttex! I like how the page lists their behaviour as "inquisitive and acrobatic". |
