During a closely watched news conference on Friday morning, a black-capped chickadee laid bare what many have long suspected.

“‘Chickadee-dee-dee-deee,” the chickadee said, speaking to reporters from the branch of a willow in Manigotagan, Manitoba.

“Chickadee-deeeee-deeeee-deeeeee,” the chickadee added.

It’s unclear what prompted the chickadee’s outburst, but one thing is certain: the message has left the nation stunned.
