In the summer, the chickadee hunts and enjoys caterpillars and other insects. In the winter, seeds and berries particular to the area he lives in are more important, and if he can find insect eggs and pupae, then he snaps them right up.

they dont, they make their young play a cruel battle to the death, where the winner only gets to live, but never learns to love
The diet of a black capped chickadee will vary from season to season. In the summer Insects form a large part of their diet. Seeds and berries tend to become more important in the winter months, although insect eggs and pupae are also eaten if found. They will also eat seeds, such as black oil sunflower seeds, from bird feeders any time during the year, although their dependency tends to increase during colder weather when food because more scarce. They will also cache food, including seeds and even insects, in bark, dead leaves, knotholes in trees, so they can consume the food later. They can remember the location of these caches for up to 28 days after creating them.
