Wait, chickenadeets are a real thing? I've only ever heard the word (and in a human context, no less)

Yup! We get black-capped chickadees, very cute and very bold!

It says "all over North America" but I've never seen them in the Southwest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickadee

Oh, those are tits?!

You American prudes need to catch up on your potty humour and ornithology (not sure if thats the correct word for it)

They are a subset, named after their 'chick-a-dee' call. Theres plenty of american birds called 'titmouses' such as from the Baeolophus genus.
