Chick a dee-dee-dee
From Hinterland Who's Who:
This bird
-can remember where it hid food for at least 28 days after putting it in its hiding place
-drops its body temperature at night by 10 to 12°C below daytime body temperature, to conserve energy
-depletes much of its energy by feeding nestlings from six to 14 times an hour
-has a very established hierarchy, or “pecking order”
