Here is a list of some of the foods that chickadees like; suet, sunflower seeds, berries, dry-roasted unsalted peanuts, insects and spiders. Chickadees will hold a seed in between their feet to crack it open with their bill. They also at times will use their feet to hold other foods that they eat. When the weather is cold; Chickadees will eat a large amount of food during day light that will be metabolized; food that is broken down into waste matter, which releases into energy for their body heat, that will help them stay warm at night.  At times the birds will shiver to help stay warm. When it is cold, one of the places that some of the birds will find to stay warm at night are in tree cavities. The larger trees that are alive that have cavities, will hold the heat from the day longer then dead tree cavities. Some smaller birds will group together in; shrubs, evergreen trees, logs, or nest boxes. By sharing their heat it will help them to save a lot of their metabolic energy.
