- LarianLeQuella, on 10/11/2007, -2/+41It's also great "therapy" for a life that is too fast paced sometimes. It's funny how having such delicate little creatures in your hand can be so focusing and calming. Well, at least for me.
- philliesphan026, on 10/11/2007, -3/+41That's because you're an *****

One nice thing about birds, as opposed to monkeys or dogs, is that the males don't have their junk hanging out. - BESTenemy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+25You're paranoid. Go play with your color coded terror alert calendar, and watch out for those germs! They're everywhere!
- OGTL, on 10/11/2007, -3/+25Same goes for the homeless. I practiced this in Toronto last year. Use stale bread and pizza hut caesar sauce for bait.
- PATSCRU, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20there was this big stink about hummingbird feeders in northern california.....the birds usually go south for the winter, but because there was free food in the hummingbird feeders, many birds skipped their migration and stayed up north and froze to death.
but, and there's a big but, walking in a park with birds coming to feed from your hand is probably one of the top 3 ways pick up girls in the park. - NikoKun, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20my grandpa used to hand feed local chipmunks with peanuts... he'd put a few on the ground and then a few in his hand, the dam things would climb onto his hand and sit there stuffing their faces full of peanuts... XD
- Iolite, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18Suck it up, soldier. A bird ***** in the hand is worth two in the bush.
- Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Stop feeding birds crack rocks.
- WaterDragon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13If you want to feed an eagle, sit really still with your kid on your lap.
- friday1970, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12So, you sit still. What if the bird dumps all over your fingers? Do still sit still let the poo run down though your fingers, and you do risk losing the birds trust and shake your hand of poo? Hmmm...

I have 4 cockatiels, 2 are over 10 years old so I'm a bird lover. What's even funnier is that we have a cat 2, but they all get along. Anyway, we back up to green space and I have tons of really friendly birds that will eat out of hand and just play and have fun. So i just thought I would share this for everyone enjoy. - SHIFTderek, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11step 1: get yourself and your fiancee brutally murdered
step 2: come back to life and avenge your death
it worked for eric draven. - Nocterminus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1217 years ago, my neighbor's kids brought a baby male northern cardinal to my door, which had been pushed from it's nest as the runt. I hand fed him and helped him to fly but he decided to stay. He died last Nov at a ripe old age of 16 for a bird that lives only 3 to 5 years in the wild.
He was the most intelligent creature for such a tiny being and taught me how special God's creations truly are.
I miss him singing in the morning giving joy to the new day. - glmory, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10It does mess with migration habits in some species. Still, given the number of bird feeders in backyards across the country I don't think you are adding much to the issue by doing this...
- cgfranco, on 05/23/2008, -0/+10Does anyone know how to attract crows? I like crows. They're pretty.
- TehSwat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Simpsons quote time!
"Don't worry marge. And it's not a group of crows, it's a murder, don't be silly" - Elliuotatar, on 10/11/2007, -5/+14skyshock21:
You're new to the internet, aren't you. - sakuraz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7To // RanIntoTheDevil
Should've ran away from that devil, dude. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'll try it on an eagle first.
- lifeat24fps, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Fiddlesticks, Boy. Feed the birds and what have you got? Fat birds.
- Iolite, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5A bird of prey? I salute your bravery.
- softwhere, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4OH YES YOU HAVE!

(quote at very end) - WaterDragon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4It figures that an idiot like you would use a word that is not an actual word. (gage)
Maybe you should reed sum bouks won day! - ortucis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4*sniff*
- CBTF, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5You're more likely to get the normal flu from everyday life. Dont worry, enjoy nature.
- WaterDragon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Hey! You can't say anything against corporations on digg! Now, you're in real trouble, mister.
- jonathan95060, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Been there, done that: scrub jay taking peanuts from my hand http://www.flickr.com/photos/funkyj/20849149/
- CBTF, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Is it wrong that im pleased to find this information? Damn birds never want to eat from my hand. Hah, things are about to change!
- SGT.SHIZZO, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Not much for people to argue about here. It's kinda nice. :)
- Elliuotatar, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Eagles are SNEAKY birds!
- Glidedon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Here's a wild bird http://www.parahawking.com/gallery/pages/gallery52_jpg.htm
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2welcom to digg noob, now stop bieng a dumb ass
- dannyapplesauce, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2No, No I never actually wondered this at all.
- sersdf, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2look. i'm all for simpsons quotes and all, just don't botch them up so horribly. "it's a murder honey. a group of crows is called a murder"
- cgruber, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2hrm.. puke in your hand?
- Stri, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Is it really that smart to teach birds to trust humans. For every bird lover there is an ***** waiting to crush it.
I think this thread demonstrates that. Do the decent thing, get a bird table and keep it away from predators. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1chicks dig this *****. the only thing you need to look out for is crows... MAKE SURE YOU DO IT TO THE RIGHT BIRDS, if your gf sees crows hopping on your sholder she might find you creepy
- levyjl1988, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Cough cough, I didn't mean to spoil the happy atmosphere here, but things such as the bird flu can really mess you up, Probably because I'm in Toronto and there are many diseased pigeons and birds.
- paoniapbud, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You know - bird flu has nothing to do with wild song birds(as far as we know). West Nile - negative also. Plague - negatory. West Nile infects songbirds(from infected mosquitoes) just like it infects us. Some migratory species of large birds in Asia have been infected with bird flu but not North American songbirds.

- SpikeX, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3That image was digitally manipulated using the Adobe® Photoshop® software.
- enneff, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Unless you're planning to feed them for the rest of their lives, don't feed birds. It can only make them dependent and less able to fend for themselves when you're not around.
- Import98, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I don't know what a chicadee is as here in NJ you mainly only see sparrows. Am I the only one that feels there is a disease threat with this? Birds can be hosts to tons of diseases, I really wouldn't recommend a wild one eating out of my hand.
- void, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Good article, I've always wanted to do that
- McTendo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1bitch got blocked.
- dralezero, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1What is this dumping of the poo you speak of? Be careful, my pet bird was on the floor and made a loud squirt noise and left a big half-dollar sized pile.
- CopyNinja, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I used to do this all the time with my mom on walks. I still do but less often, doesn't mean its gotten any less entertaining.
P.S. Don't feed evil English sparrows or pidgeons - WaterDragon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Did you HAVE to say that?
Now I want chicken! -
