I have always tried to keep animals and birds at the food source so that you can get some pictures. Once you have them trained, you can do this. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden ) Here we had a bird deciding to pick one. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden ) The problem though is that it is very fast, grabs one and is gone. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden ) Change the food to a big piece, they see these at the suet feeders.

He's really friendly now. Comes over to me when I go on to the deck, have to carry some food for him now.
