    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".

    However, I do feed birds in my garden via feeders so theres a conflict...

    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.
