Chickadees use the two-note fee-bee call to communicate a variety of messages. When it’s loud, it’s usually related to males interested in attracting a mate or related to standing ground on its territory. When it’s softer, it’s often by one of the mated pair, either just calling to each other (鈥渉ere I am鈥) or telling each other to take a turn getting food. If there’s any danger, they’ll use the 鈥渃hickadee-dee-dee鈥 call.
