This is fact. They used to be dinosaurs.

 

They still are! They're just in the category of avian dinosaurs.

Very cool. Best i got is a conspiracy of Ravens that dance on my roof at 7am if i haven't woken up and tossed them a peanut by then. Cheeky birds.

I have one Blue Jay that squawks at my window in the early morning if the tray is empty. he is quite tame as I can approach within 4 ft. of him without him flying away.

Super cute, but bird people are weirdos. 😉 

Hey, I’m not a weirdo. I appreciate all kinds of animals! They are incredibly intelligent though! You can teach them to talk, tricks, even fly to you on command. 😅

I used to train wild birds to land on my hand. mostly chickadees.

 

First I would put crushed peanuts on the railing of the deck and sit a few yards away. They would eventually come and start eating the nuts. I would then move a little closer day by day. Once they got used to me being close I would put my hand a little closer to the peanuts day by day. After they got used to that I would put some of the peanuts on my hand and they would eventually come over and take a few pieces. Once they got used to that I would put all the peanuts on my hand and my hand would still be motionless on the railing. They would then eat off of my hand. Once they started climbing onto my hand I would hold my hand a little higher off of the railing day by day. They got so used to it that I could put my hand through the sliding glass door and they would come land on it to eat. It was pretty cool.
