We are lucky to have a garden with plants, bugs and trees that attract these charming little birds. They have two distinct calls, one sounds a bit like "Hi, sweety!" and the other, "Chicka-dee-dee-dee" gave the species their name. The latter call is an alarm call and the number of "dees" indicates the severity. Mostly they flit about looking for food, making a soft "beep" sound.
