Abstract

The practices and behaviors employed by the black-capped chickadee displayed selective strategies towards the active foraging of food in the months prior to winter. The chickadees would collect food at a high rate, hide them, and subsequently return for additional food. The analysis demonstrated that chickadees show very little or no preference for the height of their food source, yet the specific type of seed played a major role in their foraging behaviors. The chickadees would actively scan each seed type, and in most cases select for the black oil sunflower seed. This high nutrient food source was collected in such high volumes that the feeders needed to be replenished constantly. Lastly, the chickadees also demonstrated a selective nature for the quality of the seeds, based on various applicable criteria.
