MBP: Today we have a sequence of three pictures with a chickadee. The bird would grab a seed from the feeder, clasp the seed between its feet to hold it steady, then dig into it with its beak. Pretty clever!
In my observation, chickadees are pretty fearless in general. When I get a new feeder (after the squirrels manage to get to and destroy the old one, usually), the chickadees are the first birds to land on the strange new feeder. They will feed from your hand, if you're patient enough to stand there holding seed out long enough. I've been to a nature center where visitors are encouraged to bring birdseed during the winter, and all the chickadees quickly learn that people = food.
