## What is Caching Birds?

We investigate how common tit species (UK), titmice and chickadees (USA) decide whether to eat or hoard food items they find. To learn more about this, we need data on wild birds. 

Any enthusiastic bird watcher with a feeder in their garden can take part using the Caching birds app. Ideally, you are also able to visually identify common garden tit species (UK) or titmice and chickadees (USA). A pair of binoculars might come in handy.

As part of our volunteer team, using the caching birds app you will be observing bird behaviour. We’d like to know what species visit the feeder(s) in your garden, what they do with the food they find, what food they are attracted by and when you observe them. These data can be easily recorded using the Caching birds app and submitted for further study to understand food hoarding behaviour in these bird species.
