Hold some bird seed (they pick through to eat only the sunflower seeds though, so you can just buy those separately and save the hassle) in your hand and stand as still as you possibly can. The chickadees (black and white) are a lot more skiddish so if you start moving they'll fly away, or not land on your hand at all. The woodpeckers will just about land on your hand before you even put it out. It's a neat thing, haven't done it for about 10 years, back when I was 8-9 yrs old...

I remember a day a LONG time ago when I was a kid going to a park and there was a guy that had pigeons all over him, on his hands, arms and even some on his head. I asked him if I could do it and he said sure and had me sit still while he placed bird seed around me. The pigeons would eat it then he'd put the seed closer and closer to me until they would finally sit in my hand like your pictures. It was a cool experience. Then another kid came along and asked to do the same thing. So the guy repeated the process and the other kid had pigeons in his hand too. Then the little punk tried to grab a pigeon and they ALL flew away! Little ****.

Some guy came up to my fiancée and I and asked if we were part of a religious group because we were standing there with our arms out looking up. He didn't know we had seeds in our hands and we were looking up at the birds...

Ito Full Audioholic Apr 7, 2012 #1,034 This shot was taken outside on balcony of the hotel room we were staying at in Breck. The night was absolutely clear and I wanted to try and capture it. Unfortunately, I did not bring my tripod on the trip, so I had ghetto rig one using two stool and a a rag to prop up the lens.

Wow, apparently the birds in Michigan are way more friendly than the Canadian Geese I've dealt with in the past!
