@ct_bergstrom I talk to the birds, too. I've also learned that they fly away faster if I'm looking directly at them, so I have to talk to them while facing away from them. My neighbors probably think I'm insane. :)

@hedwyg @ct_bergstrom You look like a predator because you have two eyes together facing forward. I know you’re okay because I’ve always lived with humans, but I’m sure you make the birds outside nervous just because of your eyes. Hopefully they will learn not to be afraid of you. You sound like a very considerate human.

@hedwyg @ct_bergstrom we have many around here. I'm tempted to get a bag of shell peanuts to carry around now.

I say " hi" to them when I see them. One is usually claiming a tree as their territory with loud, possessive quorks. I wish them a good day as I pass

Ridiculous Ginger

@pseudonym @hedwyg @ct_bergstrom I do the same thing! It seems over time they get used to me and tend to stay still and cock their heads in my direction and it looks as if they are pondering what I’m saying. I need to start feeding them again, though.
