Birds of a feather eat together

by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

hand feeding the birds

That must be tasty food that those people are holding up for the birds!

Can you imagine standing outside and having that many birds trying to get food out of your hand? Kind of neat, but maybe a little frightening at the same time, I think.

    Great photo, capturing the birds in mid flight. It is hard to imagine having so many coming over to one’s own hand, though…

    Great shot! And yeah, that’s a lot of birds too close to human hands. 🙂

    Happy WW!

    I like birds…in small quantities.
    Wonder how long it took to get the birds to come.

    That’s really neat, but if it were my hands, I’d be a little creeped out!

    Yes, that must be a very special food for the birds for them to cast off their inhibitions and eat at the palm of the feeder. These may have gone on for quite sometime now and the birds are already familiar with the feeder. Otherwise, they would not be so trusting as they are showing in the photo. Thanks for the amusing post. God bless you always.

    Very cool pic. I dont understand how the “feeder” was able to accomplish this but it is very interesting.

    Oh wow … that would be scary! Several years ago, I was at Disney World and I had just bought a foot long hot dog. I was walking back toward my family with the hot dog in my left hand when, suddenly, a large crow swooped down over my left shoulder and snatched a portion of the meat! I was a little startled and a LOT aggravated that I had go pay for a second lunch … especially at Disney’s prices.

    What a great picture. I love this kind of stuff. Last winter I had a couple of robins in the garden who were very cheeky, and I think I could have trained them to eat from my hand with time and patience , but as I have a cat, I didn’t think this would have been fair.
