If a man has this in his life, then he has all the riches of the world right there in front of him.

Wow, lovely to see you feed the beautiful birds 🐦 😻

[@TasteofCanadianOutdoors]

I agree, hunters typically don't feed birds :)

[@Fenrispro]

U are lucky to be there!

[@TasteofCanadianOutdoors]

I clearly know that 😊

Thank you for sharing your experiment. I've been recently feeding sunflower seeds to the birds in our yard and the chickadees love them. But I was curious about whether or not they'd like some other kind of feed so today I bought a small bag of bird food (some sunflower seeds and other grains). I put a little down on the feeder and the chickadees weren't interested in anything but the sunflower seeds. Juncos showed interest in both kinds. Anyway, now I know I won't be successful trying to get the chickadees to feed the new food from my hand. Thank you again. Good observation.

Try peanuts. I offer my chickadees both peanut hearts and sunflower kernels and some take one and some the other. Same with the nuthatches. I have also gotten downy woodpeckers to eat from the hand a few times by removing the suet feeder they feed on every day and holding a block of suet in my hand in the same spot they are used to eating suet. The other bird you can fairly easily get to eat from the hand is hummingbirds -- if you get one of those hand-held hummer feeders like the Humbutton.

I was going to go buy some Black Oil Sunflower seeds because some birds in my neighborhood liked them. Instead I found a bag of bird feed with corn millet, sunflower seeds etc.. For some reason they weren't eating it. Even when I wasn't there... I'm probably going to go to a park and try my luck there. Great video by the way!

Job well done on this video, with excellent narration. Thanks so much! 💜

What camera are you using on the tripod and in your hand? Soothing video, and i enjoy your accent 😊

[@ronj555]

This is a wonderful video. I love feeding birds and I have taken friends and family to places to feed birds. The Grandchildren especially enjoy the birds landing on their hand. I have never been to this park but it’s close to where I live and I will visit it. I’ll be watching out for you and perhaps you can teach me a few tricks. I have a photo to share if you are interested. Thanks again.

[@Barnacle392]

Thank you for the video. I will try to hand feed birds in my parks.

[@ingrid-xr3ql]

Never have hand fed a bird before, but I have hand fed a little chip munk

[@catpoke9557]

That black squirrel is so pretty

[@tomrwilliamson]

[@Pessimystic]

How they know is sunflower seed and not rock?

[@TasteofCanadianOutdoors]

Well I never tried rock maybe my next game with chickadees will include rocks to see how they react

[@treewalker1070]

Well, how would you or I know the difference? Through our eyes. Birds have much keener vision than humans, anything a human can see, a bird can definitely see.

Cherry hill gate in Burlington is better
