This 'ground robin' uses a unique two-footed scratch, called a 'double-scratch,' to uncover food, making it look like it's dancing for its dinner!
This persistent little Song Sparrow knows over 20 different song variations, meaning it's always ready to drop a new hit single at the feeder!
Black-capped Chickadees have an impressive memory! They can remember thousands of food cache locations, using spatial memory to retrieve hidden seeds and insects, even months later.
Male Northern Cardinals are fiercely territorial, often attacking their own reflections, mistaking them for rivals! Talk about an ego!
Did you know Tufted Titmice sometimes snatch hair from sleeping animals, or even humans, to make their nests extra comfy? They're basically tiny, feathery hair bandits!
A male House Finch's vibrant red plumage is like a dietary report card; the redder he is, the more carotenoids he's eaten, signaling his top-tier health!
