MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE CHICKADEES, 



S. Louise Draper. 



The Chickadee is a happy, cheerful bird, coming late in the fall about our 

 homes to remind us that we are to have bird friends through the long winter 

 months. 



Last year the Chickadees came in November and ate the suet that I tied 

 on a limb of a small Catalpa tree that stood near our kitchen window. I had 

 read about the Chickadee becoming so tame that it would come on one's 

 liand, but did not think that I could tame them. 



They had been coming most every day for about a month after suet and, 

 doubtless, had become used to me, because one day I was standing under a 

 plum tree back of the house when a Chickadee came and began to eat meat 

 off the bone I had in my hand. I was very much surprised and pleased to 

 have them so tame. Jan. 11th, 1905, was the first time they came on my 

 hand. Feb. 5th, 1905, I commenced to offer them butternut meats. I did 

 not have to urge them to come after they had the first taste. I think they like 

 Tautternut meats better han anything you can give them.
