Video of me holding bread as wild finches fly to me and take it out of my hand


It's rare for wild finches to get close to any person, but watch as these birds fly to me and take it out of my hand. Video length is 1:41.

Pretty cool!
They are quick little birds.

I hated my step mother but she had several cute little House Finches out front of the house in a glassed in porch.

They were cool little birds.

I like your videos👍

Thanks!

You got a real way with birds.

I like to think they recognize me or maybe it could be the bread. :)

One year, a couple of wild house finches made nests in the hanging asparagus ferns I had on my front porch. Two females, each with her own potted fern, laid clutches of eggs in the ferns. I like birds, so I roped off the porch and put up a sign telling everyone to come to the back door until further notice, and called the birds "Lucy and Ethel" because of their idiotic twittering.

I didn't bother them until Lucy and Ethel and their chicks all flew away, then the porch was mine again. I wish they'd come back the next year, but they didn't.

Good to here your story about birds. I had the same thing happen in my garage on a hanging ladder, except it was doves.

reply

Awesome! Glad to see more birds being hatched, by whatever means necessary!

Did you give them silly names?

reply

Nope, but that sounds like a good idea.

reply

That's quite lovely. I've rescued a few birds, and wonder from time to time how they're doing - gave them all to sanctuaries.

reply

That's a nice thing to do. I've taken some birds to shelters.

reply

Also nice of you. I find shelters to have a lot of loopholes when it comes to their no-kill rule, but sanctuaries meant specifically for birds seem to be a lot more caring, but either way, you're giving an injured animal to someone better equipped to help it and that's all you can do.

Excellent 👍

I made a video of Egrets(long legged white birds) flying to my hand and eating bread, but I'm not sure if I still have that video.
