In Oregon the Chickadees would come to the window by the dozens to let you know it was time for breakfast. They loved the peanuts and weren't shy either. Thanks for coming by. Always appreciate seeing you all. Anita

Wow, amazing. Is this your hand? Feeding with one, shooting with the other? You are a good hunter. Glad, you do not use guns, but a camera. Smile.

Friendly is one thing and so tame is another and this is that surprises me !!! LOL
Here only them silly pigeons [Pierre sorry - you are not any of them LOL] and swans appear tame enough to come and accept feeding from hand but only in winter - I mean the swans and then them huge geese they are NOT AT ALL friendly because they chase you till you drop dead when they suspect you of hiding more bread somewhere ! LOL

Very nicely done. There is just enough motion blur to add to the knowledge he is just landing there. Super clarity and color. Thanks for sharing.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Beauty is no quality in things themselves. It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them, and each mind perceives a different beauty.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, what a cute capture. Shame on you for bribing that poor bird. But, he or she got a good dinner out of it. Love it when animals are not afraid of man. Good one.
