 chickadee (stylized as chickadee) is a canadian children's magazine. it was founded in 1979 as a spin-off of owl magazine geared towards younger readers. originally focused on science and nature, the magazine, aimed at kids aged six to nine, has gradually become a more general-purpose children's magazine. in 1997, chickadee (as well as sister publications owl and chirp) was purchased by bayard canada, which also owns a number of french-language childrenâs magazines, including les dÃ©brouillards and les explorateurs. ==references==  == external links == * chickadee magazine official website * bayard canada site
