Interesting mornig after Friday the 13th

[WETWRKS]

Not unheard of. I was in the mountains and people were feeding the birds their scraps. When I got done eating I decided to toss mine out too. I held up my hand and before I could toss it a bird came down and landed on my finger. Scared the snot out of me initially but I managed not to shake the bird off. It sat there and ate the food out of my hand. Everyone around us was shocked. When my aunt was done eating I took her food and held it out and again a bird landed on my finger and proceeded to eat. Dunno if it was the same one or not. I got some odd reactions from the strangers there.

I have parrots and they would act that way. Is it possible that it was someones pet that got away? Bizzare if it was a wild bird.

If your curious here is a link that shows birds around here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...6t8kbnKTOqwP8w

I found a injured hawk on Thursday and turned it over to the birds of prey foundation. Personally I love Colorado because of all wildlife we have.

Looked alot like this guy but his beak to me was a little longer. About a half hour later he popped out in the front yard and was eating bugs out of the ground and following me and my neighbor like he wanted to be petted. The neighbors 3 cats started circling around so we scooped him up in a cat crate and took him to the open space and let him out. He was about to become din din.

Good for you! A good friend of ours has worked with Hawk Quest for years. This eagle was rescued very young and is so people-conditioned it can never be released. It just took too long for it to get healthy again, now it's human-dependant. Draws a great crowd though.

I'm gonna put a call in to Mr. Hitchcock.

I had some weird animal activity lately myself. Yesterday a camp robber flies into the house and then proceeds to repeatedly pound itself against the bay window trying to escape. He crapped all over the window sill in the process. I caught him in a dish towel and let him go. His partner was waiting in a tree outside. They come right inside the back door sometimes to get at the dog food. This guy came flying right into the living room.

Then today I had a squirrel strut into my kitchen like he owned the place. I turned and looked at him and he just kept hopping around. I scared the shit out him (not literally like the bird) and he took off out the door.

Fun stuff with the wildlife, as long as the bears don't come in.

We have been getting Blue Jays around the house this year.
Pretty birds. The cat is not thrilled though, they buzz him like a P-51.

That's a great analogy. I can picture that quite easily. My cat left me a dead garter snake in the bathroom this weekend. I'm just glad he didn't leave it in my bed.

That's very cool! I've never had a wild bird do that with me, I'd be thrilled to death. I've had bird feeders 10 feet from our kitchen window for years, and get tons of goldfinches and other types, but never had anything come up to me. Other than the ground squirrels in state parks, of course. Those things will come up to a serial killer for a peanut or piece of popcorn.

We went to Discovery Cove in FL back in 2004, and I got to feed dead fish to the stingrays, which was very cool.
