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 children’s magazines, including Les Débrouillards and Les Explorateurs.
