    I work as a manager in a grocery store and a cardinal came in thought the back dock and lived there for over a year before we were forced to have him caught and released. We named him Marty and everyone fed him. I gave him fresh fruits and vegetables and he would land on me to eat. He grew to know the sound of me whistling And would come flying. I miss the little guy :/

    Since pandemic, I have been spending lots of time in yard and birds are getting more comfortable with me. Blue birds come within a couple feet of me now when I puttin meal worms out for them. Blue Jays come with maybe 5 feet of me and several Cardinals just seem to not pay much attention to me at all . Even rabbit lets me walk within a couple feet of him with my little dog walking along. I think they just need time to get used to you. Now they all take off if a stranger comes around. Blue birds for sure like me best.

    This vid just popped up in my feed and it brought me to tears. Thank you for posting this. 🥰
    I love Cardinals so much, as did my dad who passed a few yrs ago (we even had a Cardinal "theme" for his memorial.) For that exquisite creature to trust you enough to eat from your hand has to be a supernatural experience! (I'd be shaking so much from joy that he'd probably leave within seconds!) My neighborhood Cardinals flee when I get anywhere near them, even when I'm innocently just working in the yard. The chickadees will come closer and chirp at me, especially as I'm filling the feeder, but never got one to eat from my hand. 😕

    To put things in perspective, I own an Australian Grasskeet that I've had since he was a juvenile-At that point he had female coloration. He always rushes to the front of the cage to see me when I enter the room, but will only hop on my finger/hand when I'm changing the food and water in his cage. Then is his show of aggression, he "bites" (actually more like a nibble) to let me know I've entered his domain.

    Great this takes time. I have tufted titmice eating out of my hand and black capped chickadees too. We havetwo mates of a female cardinal and a male and both land fairly close to see the birds.
