Ever since we started this feeding of the birds business, I have been waiting for a warm day to try this stunt. Since we are to leave shortly, I decided that I could no longer wait.
The stunt: I was hoping to attract five birds at once by putting a dollop of peanut butter on my head and, via apple slices, to my shoulders and hands. It didn't work as hoped. At best, I was only able to entice three birds at one time; sadly, we weren't even quick enough to capture that brief moment.
Notice that my hands are also bare? I wanted to feel their feet, and it was a rather pleasant sensation, even if my fingers did run the danger of falling off in the numbing cold. One demented chickadee didn't even bother with the peanut butter; she simply hammered away on my fingers. I guess she was taking out her frustration: from being brave enough to land but not brave enough to go to the centre of my hand for the food.
Awesome picture!
ReplyDeleteI was trying to think of why this image looks so darn familiar... and then I remembered: My grandmother had a statue of you in her garden, only then you were wearing a Franciscan robe... hairdo was the same though. :)
Wash your forehead, I think I see a dropping

Cool! It looks kind of funny, but I bet it's a nice experience...
