    The chickadee are always looking for a hand out, so today I put my hand out of the window for them.

    Bribery WILL get you almost anything. Great picture. The first time a chickadee landed on my hand was a big surprise to me. I was filling a feeder, scooping the seed up with my hand and as I went to put the seeds in the feeder the bird landed on my hand, grabbed a seed and left as quickly as it arrived. I have never had a camera in the other hand on the occasion.

    OK that does it!! I'm going to have to try to get some of my birds to take food from my hand. Ian has had a robin taking mealworms from his so it's about time it was my turn. ;)

    Hi Kildale, You and your birds just amaze me. Your Chickadee pal is very friendly and cute.
