My poor chickadee

Chickadees are my favorite bird, and I feed them mealworms every morning. The whole little flock comes to the window feeder each morning to get their share. (How do they fit so many mealworms and peanuts into those little stomachs?) I was sad to see this chickadee with a deformed beak, but he still seems to be able to pick up peanuts and mealworms. His beak is still growing (already much longer than when this photo was taken), so I don't know how much longer he'll be able to eat.
