Ive never gotten that lucky. Ive had a chickadee hover in my face. Only had pigeons land on my hand. You get about 5 or 6 of those birds perched on your out stretched arm and it gets downright heavy lol
I love that! I am going to have to get some of them to feed them! I am excited! A new project! The nuthatches and chickadees will eat from my hands, though.
This is wonderful, I have been hand feeding wild birds for 4 yrs. now. The Downys will not land on my hand though, the Goldfinch, Pine Siskin, White-Breasted and Red-Breasted Nuthatches, Chickadees, and Tufted-Titmouse all do.
@lynnesciortino Hi Lynn, thanks, nice to hear from another handfeeder. Isn't it wonderful to experience such trust. I just watched your great clips too. If you want to see more of mine you can go to my youtube channel at kellydodge. The artistsforconservation site will soon have a backyard blog featuring my birds etc. It will start in a couple weeks you might enjoy it. Kelly
@GilaTomster Thanks for your comment. Yes, the Downy Woodpeckers are very calm and friendly. They love peanuts too...good luck with hand-feeding one..it is a sweet privilege.
awesome!

We have Downy's at our feeders, they eat the suet. What a wonderful thing it must be to handfeed them! They are so cute

@nddlj HI There! Yes, you can buy mealworms which they also like to eat alive. Most pet stores sell them.
Good luck!
