Supporting sustainability: 100% recycled post-consumer waste card and envelope; 30% post-consumer waste envelope liner; commercially compostable plastic sleeve.
Gathering seeds and twigs between seasons are the chickadee, bluejay, junco, cardinal and crow — with my curious discoveries about each on the back of the card.
Text on the back of this card:
Black-capped chickadees generally don’t migrate; instead they cache up to 100 seeds a day and can remember locations for nearly a month! Favorite hiding places include under bark or in the cracks of your house shingles. Given that one of their favorite snacks is peanut butter, that could make for some gooey crevices.
Chickadees recognize the hiding places through visual cues – for example, the arrangement of trees in a corner of your yard.
I think about this when I watch a chickadee hide sunflower seeds in my plant pots, apologetically knowing that I’ll be relocating those pots to the shed once November blows in.
