Description
It was a success! My daughter and I are nature nuts and love to explore. She doesn't share the same love of birds as I do. I mean, she likes birds and all; but they don't excite her like they do for me. She would rather walk the paths, then sit and look for birds in trees.
Last year, I made a point to drive to a location four hours across the state to feed the birds at a location that people say they have luck. I did this because she said that would be something that would be exciting for her. Guess what? We didn't have any luck. None. Just a drive and plenty of talking.
Then we decided to try it for ourselves in a wooded area in our own backyard. SUCCESS!!
Chickadees and nuthatches both ate from our hands. It was an awesome feeling having a wild bird land on your cupped hand and eat from it.
We didn't do anything special to attract them either. Just sit still in an area that had plenty of little birds.
