I went out this evening to fill my bird feeders and this little guy stayed behind to eat after the others had left. I noticed that as I approached the feeder he did not fly off so I slowly approached him. I stood right in front of him just a few inches away and he just kept on eating, so I stuck my finger out and gently touched him on the bumb and to my surprise he stepped back onto my finger and stayed for about 7 or 8 seconds then flew off. He circled around and came back to the feeder and continued to eat. I ran inside and grabbed my camera and asked Dave my son in-law to take some pictures. He actually stood on my finger 4 more times before I left him alone to finish eating. Here are a couple of those pictures

He's either an outcast, or he has struck fear into the hearts of his fellow birds, leaving himself with the feeder- and no limits.
that is amazing.
you're like cinderella.
do you sing to neil diamond and pickles when no one else is around?
Maybe that's why they stopped breeding
