I was stressing at work the other day so I decided to chill outside on the grass during break. A Magpie sat with me for an hour as if it could tell I was upset. His friend joined but one Magpie who also tried to join was turned away...I felt like the "cool kid " everybody wanted to be around simply because I'm human lol Birds have their own personality and once I saw that It blew my mind because it's a reality check.They are alive just like us...Idk... I just felt so ignorant and rude as if Ive been ignoring Hello's and Goodbye's all my life. The experience got me into birding:)

There's a couple of areas in my local park in London where the birds are used to people and recognise a food opportunity! They will feed from the hand and often stay there until all the food is gone. A robin also landed on my shoulder and waited for me to get the food out of my pocket. A lovely experience.

BLACK BARON1:50 ... Birds react and get curious in the air when you fly certain flight manoeuvres with a little RC helicopter in the middle of nature. I find it always interesting to watch the "Bird Perspective" from my position ... "Grounded". I wonder if humans could teach them one day how to fly a "Looping".

You've probably bought some binocs by now, but just in case you haven't, Wingspan ProBirder binoculars are awesome! They are designed just for bird watching. Amazon sells them for just over a hundred, but they're just as good as an expensive pair and they have the ED glass, so the colors are awesome!

I'm the world's worst bird watcher. I can't resist talking back to them, but I seldom bother to spot them. I have all sorts of interactions with them, and I just stand and talk to them. They gather to me - every species in earshot, and speak back. Finally, a dove or doves will show up to watch, but they remain quiet. I'm not really a bird watcher - I'm a bird watchee. That is another basic possibility.
