Chickadee (stylized as chickaDEE) is a Canadian children's magazine. It was founded in 1979[1] 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,[2] which also owns a number of French-language children’s magazines, including Les Débrouillards and Les Explorateurs.
