Thank you Stickitoffee, I do, because I might not get one to do that again!! I realise it is cupboard love but it is so pleasing when a wild creature trusts you enough to be that tame!

never had it happen to me but i imagine its incredible, btw if i havent already said so, welcome to GoY
25 Jun, 2012
Does it mean you are not trustworthy for the nature ? :)))))
25 Jun, 2012

I sure felt like Dr D when he came to sit on my finger!

Fantastic photo Shirlywhirly . . and what an experience! Had one sat on the toe of my boot while gardening, but to have one feed out of your hand - marvellous! :-))

An experience I will never forget - the tiny feet felt like little wires or something - it was wonderful. :)))))

So for future reference...I must remember to get mealworms...lol. This is delightful,Shirl.
30 Jun, 2012
They really do go for them!!!!! Bit expensive though, but worth it for the pleasure of getting these tiny birds to come to me!
30 Jun, 2012
Wow, that is wonderful. did you have the food in your hand, then ? And to sit there whilst having its picture taken! You're not related to Bill Oddie are you! Lol.
30 Jun, 2012
I didn't have any food at that moment, so it was even more pleasing that he chose to sit on my finger!!
He had been to the table though before, so he knew that mealworms were in the vicinity!!
30 Jun, 2012
wow great picture very well done :))
