Black Capped Chickadee Getting Food From Its Hidey-Hole. Crazy fact: Chickadees have thousands of food caches to keep track of, and the location of these caches change every year as they form new social groups. So, to keep this really sophisticated spatial information in their little bird brains, every year fall they go through a really extreme neurogenesis, where they dump and reform about a third of their neurons. Who wouldn't like to be able to do that? They start out with new memory every fall!
