How to get a wild bird to trust you? Blackbird comes to my garden and i have a chance befriend him. 

there is something special about blackbirds

That Blackbird represents my feelings about McDonalds. It goes against all my natural instincts, but despite this I will still get close enough for easy food.

I love the way you take time for these small messengers from heaven. Your reward: their trust and companionship. Thank you for posting!

I have one comes to my door. He actually came in a couple of times last year. He's normally waiting for me in the morning, but if he's not there, I whistle and he turns up. He's now bringing the kids lol.

Fantastic. Love the way he isnt even concerned with the lawnmower!

It only took about a week and now Mr Blackbird comes right out side my back door 😃 he even comes to the dining room window & stares at me until I come to the back door to feed him.

My mum had a really tame one in her garden when I was a kid. She would sunbathe on her garden bed with an apple or some berries, and the bird would fly down, perch on the bed and take the berries from her hand, or peck at the apple. He was a lovely lil chap, but his wife was much more nervous, and would never come anywhere near us.

In 2020 a black bird pair decided to make a nest in my garden so I started to feed them and bond with them and over time the baby black birds grew and fledged out of the nest into my garden then all of them went away for a while then in early 2023 the black bird pair came back so I started to feed them again and now they have made another nest in my garden and since I'm 13 I still go to school and the black bird pair has now started to follow me all the way to my bus stop which is about a 10-20 minute walk from my house but they still get a bit spooked when I go out to feed them.Also me feeding them has also brought many other birds to my bird table as I have seen pigeons,magpies,crows,ravens,tits, sparrows, and starlings. It's really fun to see them all eating at the same time. UPDATE:So the baby birds that they had in 2020 are now adults too and they follow the bus I get on all the way to school and crowd around me when I get to a certain point where there is normally noone else. I love them so much.

This is so cool!! I didn't think this would be possible. I love blackbirds they are so full of character. Befriending one would be amazing.

While sitting with chickens as i feed them in the morning Mrs Blackbird darts around my feet and the chooks. Yesterdsy her two fledglings darted in and stood while she filled her crop and transferred to them ... datent move a muscle but so close

Absolutely love the video and blackbirds are one of the best species! There are several in my garden ans one of them has such a quirky behaviour. They are so entertaining to watch.

I so wish we had these beautiful birds in Texas! I love listening to them sing.

I’ve got a black bird that comes every day to see me it’s so lovely she makes a beautiful sound just to let me know he’s by me

Well done MATE WELL DONE. Cheers Andre South Australia. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌✌✌✌✌🙏

We name all Blackbirds Carl for some reason haha and after throwing food from my door just for Carl while making tut tut tut noises he knows it's for him! He now comes down and waits about 50cm away as i place it down and walk away. Im so close to him feedingfrom my hand 😊

I would love to do this, but I don't think there are that many worms in my whole street! 😄

So sweet… I’m gonna try

Amazing!

My blackbird his name is millo and he follows me around I had him ever since he was a baby

Thats a very young blackbird only just mature,thats why it is still in feed me Dad motion .

Beautiful ...

I started out with one couple. In the spring they came with their offspring to feed on mealworms. At the moment I have about 8 blackbirds in my garden. The problem is that the get aggressive to each other when I feed them. I distribute the feed in the garden to prevent them to get aggressive to each other. I also stay around them until they have their fill because the starlings would eat everything. There is a bird, a thrush that comes to me when I call him (or her).

They are lovely. I'm getting hungry watching all these yummy worms ;)

So inspiring to see people like me that create bonds with birds.😊 Really like your channel ❤🎉😊😊 Thank you for this video😊

Love it 🎉

I will try to tame one but i think i can not do it...i live in city and there is one comming every time i open my window and he sings and i enjoy and wistle back...i do not feed him/her Probably will start with some perrot seeds to see if he/she accepts. And i do not have a garden to get worms... But i will give it a try since he/she is so friendly, their nest is few meters away and i hope we become friends

I had a Robin eating from my ha d on The first day and am not kidding. I call him Robbie. Xxxx

I swear, every other day i catch myself whistling at birds and wishing i knew how to get closer to them, but i never actually looked up what to do Just the otherday, a Robin got stuck in a net on my property (ive taken care of it since) and it broke my heart how scared he was the whole time i was cutting him free (though it was kinda cute to see him bite at my fingers like that would hurt). Im lucky i could hold him well enough to get the net off, but yea, it's time to take this seriously and start shooting my shot with the birds in my yard... the worst they can do is say no...

I love animals, and have a particular fondness for eurasian blackbirds, but humans have some pretty interesting emergent behaviour too if you consider them just being any other wild animal trying to survive.

I had a brown trasher to eat out of my hand❤❤❤he has not comr yet this year

thank you

Please can someone help me.I love blackbirds and last year I kind of rescued one who was baby after their tree taken down.He and I sang together and I recorded him everyday. Its been hot this week heatwave and I put food out. I saw him try chase off a couple blackbirds who were eating his food and they refused to go.Then he flew off.This morning this new one was singing on the roof and I cant hear my blackbird and he didnt come to feed today. Also a falcon flew in and scared the baby sparrows. Its a tiny garden only room for mine so what can I do. Have they scared him off or is it the heat and he is in the trees as I live near a common. Shall I carry on feeding the other blackbirds or are they wanting my garden ? Because of the singing Im a little worried ?they trying to move in and push him out ? as alot of people taking trees down .Im so upset he didnt come for his food as usual.And worried where he is.What can I do to help this situation as I love blackbirds. In this heatwave a lot of birds squirels are hungry and even that falcon was scarey, the way it swoshed into the sparrows I feel so protective of my blackbird as we sing together hes special.😩 Im really concerned as usually,I hear him in garden early morning Its hot and I know they moult and maybe lay low as my robin is hardly seen.

POV: you just got done playing AC Valhalla

What do you feed a wild bird? Maybe a dove ?

I got a 🐦

Thank you for the tips I’m trying to catch a bird 🐦 right now thanks

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="216">3:36</a> i feel bad for the worm he saw his friend die infront of his eyes and trying to escape

any way to befriend a bird if you don't have a garden? I've been trying to befriend jackdaws that like the field somewhat close by, but they're skittish. There's many people always walking by so I don't feel they are even able to associate me with the guy that threw some food to them some time ago.

Made friends with a black bird, but the worms are not best pleased with him...

How will I know it’s the same bird? (Not to be mean)

So what if the bird never comes back

i have done it to doves they even fly up to mu window to poke me for some food you may check my video's

Ahhh.. I wanted to get rid of them, they are ruining my garden and chasing all other birds away !

Don't betray that bird or he will become like my pet dead chicken
