I'm impressed. How many years did this take? When I get up in the AM I'm probably gonna find Paula trying this. Thanks for the pics it's the little things that are so cool. I'll bet others here have some neat stuff too that we can see.

HI osia. Well it really didn't take years from them to land on our hands, we fed them for 10 years, after work at the picnic table a few of us sit at. But it only took a few days for them to start trusting us and landing on us. If we don't put any food any where else they come right to us. Its fun and they are so cute when they are that close, sometime I think they are talking to us. Its weird how trusting these little guys can really get.
I guess this is a normal occurrence to a lot of people because your the only one who thinks its different for wild birds to fly out of the sky and land on a humans hand haha! no matter how many times we see it its still a trip.Rick

Great story and pics Rick, Just shows what a little patience and trust can do. Wifey has a finch feeder and regulars who feed there. I wonder if they would still feed with me sitting nearby. Ireally liked this post.

Thanks Buster yea I think the finches will come close,thay have the same friendliness as the black caps although the black caps are extra trusting. If you sit there every day and get closer and closer thay will come (if you bring good food they will come!!) that's from movie aint it? hahah

Very cool, Rick! I'll have to try that with my black-caps that frequent my feeders. I have house sparrows that hang out right outside the front door. They won't fly unless you get really close, a little food would probably go a long way towards earning their trust. It might also work with house finches.
I stuck some big pieces of broken local stoneware in the ground under the feeder for the birds. I didn't know if they would use them at first, but they love them. I'll have to try something with bottles in my bird feeder garden. ~Jim
