BIRD WHISPERER shows How To GET BIRDS to EAT OUT OF YOUR HAND!!! 

This story is so touching… 🥰 I hope you will be together always and forever… 😊

Wishing you all the best, that's awesome!

Touching. Always a great way to anchor a strong memory and yours wind the prize.

The Chickadee connected with each of you and connected you both into LOVE BIRDS for life. Good for you both.

Happy late anniversary!! I hope you two did something fun together ❤ your story is so sweet 🥰

Hahaha! The best comment !😂😂

Right? You can tell he’s a friendly soul

He’s the kind of father that I would have liked to have. ✌️

Oh me too. My neighbours are trying to get me to eliminate all the bushes, trees and …. wait for it … birds and flying insects from my beautiful ancient Nature-rich garden. Also anything that ‘slides’, like worms, for example.

@@shaash5236 Don't do it!

what kind of bird are you?

Absolutely right

Birds love a talker too. They want to hear your voice. Mine “laughs” whenever I finish a sentence, he’s used to my jokes lol.

@@d.w.stratton4078 I find they just react to a kind presence. I am a big meat eater, though not a hunter, and I have no problem getting animals to come.

Shoot... Im out

Now there's a goal. Anytime I get a scared little animal to trust me, it the best feeling😊💕

This looks a lot safer than interacting with lions or grizzly bears😊.

I love getting all the magic diseases wild animals carry. It's very spiritual.

@@sanjivjhangiani3243I got a wild fox to take food from my hand a couple of times. I really like earning a wild creatures trust

Being mystical (like you) I know God loves, values those things He has breathed the breath of life into. Isn’t this reasonable and logical?

Absolutely, they sense far more than we think.

Absolutely

My childhood best friend had squirrels that would walk into his back door, through his kitchen, into the little pantry, and take food from the dog food dish before going back outside lol. They'd take nuts out of our hands on his back porch too. Super funny.

...and did she get some food?

Absolutely, kids seem to pick it up quick. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing!

wow how did you do that? i have hummingbirds by me I wouldn't mind trying.

@@pajamaninja2157 I would assume they waited until a feeder was getting recognized as food and slowly got closer and closer. I've had hummingbirds land on my feeder while I am less than 2 or 3 feet away from it, but I've never tried holding a food source. I think they make ring-style feeders that can go on your hand for it. They are kind of like woodpeckers imo, very oblivious once they start eating.

@@173jaSon371 alright seems simple enough. I was mostly wondering the kind of food source to put on the hand cus yk they eat nectar or sugar solution.

Ring feeder. I've done it too.

More like a “bird brain”

@@StefanSobkowiak oh no! You are very knowledgeable about our winged friends!

I could picture him being really into trains as well

Just practice..

icouldjustscream, look at bird bath

So would probably consider hanging in your feeder same day hey mate

Fantastic, trust established and maintained all these years.

They sure are eating and pooping machines though. I had been telling my other half we needed to let him go and then when she did I was sad like uhh maybe I didn't want him to go lol. I still miss him. He started pecking our faces when he wanted to be fed and always wanted to be on your head. They make the most interesting darting eye movements and body language. Life is an amazing thing.

Me and my wife did the same thing. It would fly from its little area we made it in a top dresser drawer and land on my shoulder. When we first found it ,it had no feathers. We carried it to a bird hospital /sanctuary at a state park near us and they eventually realesed it in the general area we found her😢

The animal relationships run deep, especially with wild creatures. Very cool you had this experience.

Tell that to a griizzly num nutz.

That's so awesome and I hope one day the dove lands! How marvelous.❤️

I have some doves that stroll along the road everyday. As I type one is walking up my path to my porch!!! 😂

Did it finally land in you?

Birds are very smart. You're probably right, this method probably works. After all if you wanted to ambush them you wouldn't waste your bait by throwing it well out of your reach! And it's not unheard of for birds to give gifts to people, so maybe some understand the concept of giving to others and can recognize when you're doing it?

@@catpoke9557 Birds in the corvid family are incredibly intelligent, like Jays and Crows

Listen and practice, that’s all.

Is this the same as a coal tit in the UK?

Pretty cool. Just had success myself.

Did it work on sparrow?🤔

@@vedantdolas9466 Only on chickadees for me so far. 🐦

@@cpnotill9264 Okay

I have a pigeon army now. When my flock spots me in town I get a winged escort to the feeding spot!

Fantastic

Front facing eyes are predatory.

Christina bottaro: I think it has to do with us having such power with our I, our spirit. I heard animals experience us as we do angels.

@@Medietos This is total bullshit. Animals don't have an Iris and can't indicate by eye movement where someone is looking at. If you stand directly in front of someone but look to the left side, he will not feel as you are staring at him. But animals can't tell if you look to the side or if you are staring and in nature if someone positions himself in front of you, he usually stares and wants to attack. You can observe this behavior in cats and dogs who will rarely look directly at each other and only to indicate a fight but when they are chill with each other they all have this 'approaching in a bow' going on, so they can look at each other with one eye and the other always knows he isn't in focus of the other because for that the position of the body would be different. So just as uncomfortable it is for you is someone is staring at you, animals feel discomforted when your body is positioned to them in a way predators do it to attack. So OP was right and you are wrong. It's just a common pattern in predatory behavior and lots of animals will pick up on that. If you go against this pattern much more animals, even/especially wild ones, will feel much more comfortable close to you. It doesn't have anything to do with any kind of spirit.

That's awesome Eldon that you've built a relationship and gained their trust! Must be so exciting to have them eat from your hand. I'm looking forward to it!

@@cpnotill9264 .... We planted a white cedar near (about 15') our bird feeder to replace a larger one that had to be cut down several years ago when we built a new porch. Little birds feel safer if they have dense cover they can retreat to if a threat should appear. We also have a lilac bush about 25' away which they like to go to in between trips to the feeder but nothing beats a nice thick white cedar. It will be a few years yet before the new white cedar is big enough to provide good cover.

Fantastic. Yes cover is so important to help them feel safe.

@@StefanSobkowiak "Yes cover is so important" You got that soooo right! Working on that in my Wisconsin yard.

@@StefanSobkowiak I have a rescued bluejay who cannot be released due to a feather defect. When I first began caring for him, he would perch on my hand and even cuddle. However, after a couple trips to the vet and the need to restrain him by hand for examinations, he has grown wary and will not sit in my hand now. He will still take food from my fingers, but he won't let me touch him anymore. Any suggestions? Bluejays have a long lifespan, so I'm hoping he will grown to trust me again after a while.

Yes, keep going there is one that will surprise you eventually.

Pigeons are great and really easy to befriend.

​@@woodypigeon quite some characters, I'm feeding one for over 5 years now, sometimes he is grumpy or will see me as a competitor, and he will lash out with his wing, just like he would beat up another pigeon.

@@gitmoholliday5764 Yes, they really are proper characters. The flocks in the town where I live have trained me to feed them several times a week. I can't walk through town now without being conspicuously surveilled and often swarmed by a entire flock if they are particularly hungry. I daren't leave the house now unless I am carrying seed. My little friends. They own me now, bless them. I could never abandon them. Pigeons are great.

@@woodypigeon well.. they did train you to feed them, but who knows next they will teach you one or two secrets around magnetism and electricity just like Nicola Tesla allegedly said after retirement.

@@gitmoholliday5764 They already speak to me in my dreams...

Wonderful. Just continue since the hardest part is done. Now to train the whole family and the next generation.

They yell at me too..I like to talk to them when they land in my hand...I think they are just angry because they really don't want people around, they much prefer to eat off the ground or feeder or whatever.

Yes, the step from good to hand is small, once one does it the others will learn.

WHAT? Never tried that, peanut butter and honey, YEAH! Will be trying it tomorrow morning, thanks

Fantastic

Buzz Werd, look at bird bath... I am from Jamaica 🇯🇲

Wonderful just use it as a learning opportunity for building patience. When it happens have a camera ready it will be a memorable moment for both of you

You sound like a lovely parent!

Right on

The words translated as "tend and keep" in Genesis (when God says man and woman are to tend and keep the garden of Eden) are the same as when Moses tells Aaron that he and the Levites are to "tend and keep" the sanctuary. The compiler of the Pentateuch was very much trying to convey the concept that the earth is sacred, the act of caring for it is sacred and in keeping with the will of god, and that mankind is both part of nature and part of protecting it. When we cage, exploit, kill, and eat animals, we are not acting in accordance with the Bible. What does Isaiah say of the new earth? "None shall kill in all my holy mountain....the lion shall lie down with the lamb and a little child shall lead them." Perhaps given that we are not obligate carnivores and given that even after the first sin god said our food was the fruit of the tree and the herb of the field we err gravely in ignoring this advice--either from god directly or simply from the collective wisdom of ancient people depending on your beliefs--and instead turn to eating animals and their byproducts. We can certainly feed a whole lot more humans if those humans eat plants than we can if they eat animals that eat plants: that is simple, trophic-level science that you learn in freshman biology class. Or put in a more permaculture orientation: "You don't have a world hunger problem, you have a "not enough veganism" problem." We have more than enough arable land already in production to feed the world many times over, it's just that we're stuffing a disgraceful proportion of it into cows, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, turkeys, fish, and other animals which we have deemed "domesticable" and have exploited for the flesh of their bodies and their eggs and excretions. Is veganism radical by some standards? Maybe. Is the earth so royally screwed at this point that simply "eating a little less meat" is going to fix things? Yup. If you want to have results you've never had before, you must be willing to do things you've never done before. We have never, in my lifetime, reduced carbon emissions or taken any steps to halt or reverse climate change. We must, therefore, be willing to take increasingly drastic steps to address the very real crises looming from peak oil, peak water, microplastics in everything form the Mariana Trench to the summit of Mt. Everest (and even aerosolized far above that), the increase of average global temperature and the wildly unpredictable fluctuations in weather that entails (yes, it can be COLDER because the overall temperature of the earth is warmer, think about shaking a rope fixed at one end more vigorously: you get bigger peaks and lower troughs in the sine-form wave moving down the rope...that's what raising the earth's average temperature does), etc. Please, if you cannot find it in yourself to eat a vegan diet because you care about animal lives and if you cannot find it in yourself to do it because humans are exploited by animal industries (think of meat-packing warehouse employees who were forced to work through COVID and who died in droves because of it, as well as literal slave labor used on board many fishing vessel globally and realize that you are exploiting not just non-human bodies, but human bodies as well), then for pity's sake, at least do it to reduce methane and carbon emissions. Carbon is between 10 and 20-times more greenhouse effect-inducing than methane and some 80%+ of it comes from the meat and dairy industries. If you're composting at home, you can also take steps to make sure your pile isn't spewing methane as it degrades by burying as much organic matter as you can under mulch instead of rotting it in a heap, though I realize this is not always possible, i.e. if you have only a small plot of land. Anyway, I digress. I just get so frustrated with how the permaculture community REFUSES to be intersectional in any way and instead looks only at one aspect of bettering the world. You cannot put much of a dent in the systems of oppression at play in the world around us by taking a single approach to things. But by looking at the intersection of many things like climate change, social inequality, wealth disparity, the collapse of infrastructure, the rise of far-right movements, eco-fascism, human trafficking, racial dynamics, etc. you can begin to find common threads that run through all of these problems. It's a bit like untangling a snarled line in that it requires patience, persistence, and focus. A solution to the world's problems does exist, it's just going to be a pain in the ass to do, which is also a bit like untangling a snarled line.

@@d.w.stratton4078 God: “YOU DID WHAT TO MY GARDEN???”

​@d.w.stratton4078 haha thats cool I'm gonna eat a pack of bacon and throw the plastic in the woods 👍🏻

@@d.w.stratton4078how the heck you have the time and energy to write such a long comment in the comment section of a simple man feeding birds?! No one wants eco socialism here!

Good to know, thanks.

We don't have exotic bird's where I live. We do with the bird's no one wants around, pigions, gulls, black birds and the odd few sparrows. Best fed bird's in Dublin,dried porridge oats for the pigions and gulls they will eat anything. My little bit of city wildlife, still connected. ☘️

Do the jays or crows eat from your hand as well?

No mam, they just look at me like I'm an inferior species - which we are.@@anntunaley9974

Glad you enjoyed it

Birds pick up on our intentions and body cues.

Amazing!

That’s so amazing! 😭

Fantastic! Just Fantastic. Enjoy them for generations to come and share the experience with visitors.

I noticed that sound, too. Love the little wing fluttering sound 💗

Fantastic, we’ll worth the patience. Congrats.

Follow those steps and be patient. They will come.

@@StefanSobkowiak I will keep trying for sure. Beautiful experience to be so close with nature

Good observation to get two. Now all you need is a large dead tree for them to make a nest cavity in and you’ll see 5-7 at once when young fledge.

Honey Caffena, look at bird bath

Oh wow. Now I’m jealous. Getting Robbins wow. Chickadees should be easy. We will definitely have to start raising mealworms.

I know I’m 2 years late but I’m curious if they were dried or live mealworms 🤔

Fantastic when a video inspires action. Next step is getting them to eat out of your hand. I’m sure you can do it.

@@StefanSobkowiak You're so encouraging! Hehe it's really nice. You don't see much of that on RU-vid. I feel lucky to have stumbled onto this warm and welcoming community. It's a great feeling ☺️ 🐦

Fantastic. They are so smart. I wonder if there is some food they can’t resist, maybe a quail egg or some meat.

@@StefanSobkowiak Some people recommend cat food. They at least like dog food and cat food a lot.

@@BirdBath1 That's so cute! And your garden looks beautiful. I have bird baths too, but I put some piles of clean rocks into them, so that any insects falling in have a few islands they can swim to, climb up and fly back out.
