Chickadees

Molly and David transform the Dyanchand family's wooded garden into a wildlife paradise for chickadees, gray tree frogs and American toads. They show the Dyanchands how to make a moss garden with spoiled buttermilk smoothies and create a colorful "toad abode" with clay pots and outdoor paint. Dave introduces several unique chickadee nesting designs, including a transparent, window-mounted box. This model will give the Dyanchands a behind-the-scenes perspective of the nest-building process. Then, Molly takes the family on a trip to Ijams Nature Center, where they discover the difference between wild and domesticated amphibians.
