Referring to John's post. Every little clunk I hear is 1 more thing to make me paranoid.

while we were bbq'ing smokies for lunch by the river, a pair of very friendly wild birds were eating right out of our hands

Just by fluke I saw one looking at me 5 ft away up in a tree, so I put up my hand with a piece of bread and it came right down for it.

a few vids of it

the kids absolutely loved it - filled them up with 2 hamburger buns,.. LOL

That would be them. they don't really fly... kind of a super smooth glide. neat little birds.
