This was something cool that happened to my girlfriend (Born.Mine.Die) and I.

We were at a bird sanctuary and I held out my hand to be goofy in a picture, and a little chickadee landed on it. We figured out what food they liked, and they were all over us. Anyways, thought I'd share. It was cool. Here is a little vid:

    How fun! Very nice of you too, they need all the food they can get in the winter. :) Thanks for a good smile. :)

    They do the same thing in the bird sanctuary in Amherst. One crapped on my hand once.

    Did you ask the girl afterwards, "what do birds and Superman both do?"...and when she responded "fly", did you point to her unzipped shorts?

    Good ole' Black-capped Chickadees.......they did the same thing when the wife and I visited a park in Halifax....back when PJ played there. Great little birds.

    Great video!!! I tried to train my backyard crew to do that, and a few did start taking seed from my hand, but then I got lazy.... now I just fill their feeders and go back in to my warm house and watch them from the window!
