The birds in my area eat out of my hands and have begun to perch on my leg or boot. But there's this Kookaburra who follows the Magpies around and just sits there a few feet away and observes like a voyeur.... not wanting any food.
Blahhhhhh...

Mom had a chickadee land on her hand and take sunflower seeds.

I don't live in Australia. We don't have many birds that aren't terrified of being within 10 metres of humans.

One of my favourites are blue jays, but they're the most timid.

These are special Magpies... they've been thrown scraps so much and so softly, they don't realise that it's to get them closer or close enough to eat from a humans hand. The two Magpies at work won't even fly if I start whistling. They run on the ground like hens up to me unless there are strangers around me, but they still get very close to take food out of my hand.



Same as at home. There are a few different Magpies that fly up and perch on me when I'm eating something on the back deck...



They're very family oriented or social birds. People fear being swooped by them but when I see one flying at me, I'm trying to figure out which one it is.



I like that they land on my boot or lap and start singing. And each one of them have distinct personalities. They're like kids.
Blahhhhhh...

The magpies here will eat anything on the ground, but they won't eat from your hand.

I saw that shit earlier. Dude was more concerned about getting paid for video footage or news appearances.



For fucks sake. The woman has had a baby. You're not the father, and don't behave like a Japanese tourist in the 1980's. Phone/camera DOWN. This is life.
Blahhhhhh...

I would want to be sanitized from head to toe if I sat down at a SF bus stop.
