Fluffy Winter Chickadee's Berry Delight

Fun Fact

Chickadees are incredibly resilient! In winter, they can lower their body temperature at night, entering a state called torpor, to conserve energy and survive the cold. They can also store food in many different places and remember where each piece is!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Texture - Use short, delicate strokes in varying shades of gray, white, and black to give the chickadee's feathers a soft, fluffy appearance.
2. 2🖍️ Snowy Detail - For the snow on the pine branch, use very light blues, grays, or even just white with subtle shadows to make it look fresh and sparkling.
3. 3✨ Berry Pop - Make the red berry stand out by using a bright, rich red. Add a tiny white highlight to give it a juicy, reflective quality.
4. 4🌈 Natural Background - Color the pine needles with deep greens, adding hints of darker shades for depth. Consider a very light blue or pale yellow wash for the sky behind the branches.
