A Bird In The Hand -- Hand feeding garden birds.

- "A bird in the hand is worth two ticks off any list". I get far more lasting pleasure from the trust shown by these delicate little wild creatures than I do from seeing a new species at 100 meters and crossing it off my life list.

Maurice you have worked hard to gain the trust of your garden birds. You must be a lovely human being! Birds know these things! God bless you.
for all the things people falsely value..fame ..fast cars ..clothes..looks etc..are of no spiritual value ..this is something that sinks deep into an enlightened person ..pure spirituality
+william bobinski Thank you William, it is difficult to put into words the feelings you get when you gain the trust of what are defiantly still wild creatures that are usually very wary of contact with people.
It's a privilege and timeless joy to experience this trust. They recognise a kindly, sympatico frequency.
I to have been lucky enough,albeit along time ago,but it never leaves you,simple pleasures are the best...

What a lovely way to spend some time with the little birds. I'm jealous.
Thank you, its difficult to express the feeling you get when they become confident enough to sit on your hand.
I expect with a little time, the Black Capped Chickadees back home would be eating out of the hand. They're already very friendly and will let you get to within a foot or two with out panic. They seem to enjoy interacting with one when you speak to them.

How can 22 people dislike such a great video is beyond me
Even though I can't see the birds in person, it's still very cool when one goes on your hand. Great video!
This so awesome. It's so amazing to see how they gain their trust knowing that they are not in danger. Absolutely beautiful.
so incredible how birds trust his hand and wait while he puts more meal worms in his hand, it is so cute.
Had a busy day at work ,found this video and what a lovely way to relax and listen to the sound of nature.
To watch wild birds feed out of your hand is just amazing.
The trust you have gained with these birds is so rewarding .
Thank you for sharing this wonderful well captured video .
Absolutely brilliant to watch this. Reminded me of my late Gran & Grandads house, they gained the trust of Robin which used to fly in as soon as my Grandad opened the door in the morning, and would stand on their kitchen table looking for crumbs / scraps. Absolutely amazing.
Thank you Alex, I very much appreciate your comments.
Wow the video is absolutely amazing love seeing how the wild birds gain your trust and feed from your hand absolutely brilliant
This warms my heart so much, I love watching videos of building trust with animals, I was laughing when the birds were getting 3-4 of the food had and had their little beaks stuffed.
Thank you Brandi for your kind comments. It is a wonderful feeling you get from gaining the trust of these beautiful but vulnerable little creatures.
I once rescued a sparrow that got trapped in our greenhouse, it flew into the glass a few times and was flapping around on the floor in a daze. I gently grabbed it and took it outside and held my hand up to let it fly away. instead it just sat there on my hand looking at me as if to say aren't you going to finish me off😁 after a while it flew not far away and perched on an apple tree. I felt really good after that. at the moment we have a crow nesting in our wash-house and has built a massive nest of twigs. we never disturb nesting birds wherever they build a home even if it's a bit of an inconvenience. We have lots of birds because we feed them all year round and in winter time we have fat balls and nuts to satisfy the masses! always a lot if chirping going on that goes on well into the evening. great video by the way.👏👍
The Bird Whisperer. I love it when they try to grab as many as they can at one time.
I love these creatures. I actually had a small bird which inadvertantly flew into my upstairs window not so long ago - there are a few of them that live in the hedge below the window. Anyway, I tried to encourage it towards the window to go back, but of course it just saw me as a threat and flew into the other bedroom and it burrowed itself into a pile of clothes in the corner so i had to grab it and then put it back out the window. It must have been terrified, and it is frustrating because like many animals, you wish that you can tell them that you mean no harm and are helping them
Yes they do tend to panic, but at least you did the right thing for it.
I'm surprised they're so brave and they are not afraid.
Thank you for your comment. It's really just a matter of gaining their trust. In the spring when they have young nestlings to feed and the urge to find food for them can make them quite bold. When the breeding season has finished many of them revert back to to being much more cautious.
Wonderful video. It must have taken ages to earn that trust from them. But your patience has been richly rewarded. And deserved.
What a beautiful film, full of love and kindness! Thank you!
I thoroughly ENJOYED this video!!!!
I have been mad about birds for years 💕 and although I feed them regularly, I have never tried feeding them out of my hands. It’s now October & I’ve been doing a lot of tidying up in my garden of late, and my resident Robin has been hard at my tail looking for baby snails and worms I may disturb. So now they know me, I’m gonna try & feed them from my hand 🤗. Here’s hoping 🙏. I’ll be sure to report back to guys 👍
Hello Maurice it's so lovely to see people in touch with our wildlife. I have birds that I care for that for various reasons cannot be released and others that visit for treats too and it makes me and hubby very happy. Enjoy your garden friends
Mandy in devon
The birds love and trust you,it must have taken remarkable patience to do this. What a beautiful video Thank you Maurice, I envy you, but in a nice way.
Thank you for your most generous comments, it does take a while to gain there confidence but it is most rewarding when you do.
Maurice Baker I bet it is Maurise. You are a great guy. You love little birds You are the best!
Maurice Baker I'm currently trying to develop trust with a beautiful bird that has built it's nest on my porch. how long did it take you to gain their trust?
Thanks so much for sharing this. I have many different types of birds who visit my garden daily and the black bird wakes me up around 5 a.m but it doesn't disturb me, it is so beautiful I fall back to sleep. Love, love the birds, but haven't got to the stage where they feed from my hand am being patient, as you said it does take a lot of patience, they have started to fly toward me but are a little hesitant, the jackdaws were shy but now they land in my garden whilst I am quite close, this is new as prior to this they were very shy. I have to gain their trust, as I had some neighbours with kids who were cruel to the birds, thankfully they have moved. The Jackdaws, have even started following me when I go out for walks!
It is heartwarming the friendship I have with birds, so rewarding...makes me cry with joy at times watching them, and when they welcome me all excited , sparrows, tits, doves, Jackdaws, it pulls at my heart strings.
Where do you buy your live worms from? , I buy the dried mealworms but now there are chicks to feed would prefer to buy the live worms. Thanks
+ali walker Thank you Ali for your comments and for subscribing, I am really pleased that you are getting so much pleasure from your birds. If you really want to try and get birds to feed from your hand I would start off with the robin and the best time of the year to do that is in the spring when they have got young ones to feed as that is when they are at their boldest. To see how I did it take a look at my web page 'The Secret Life of the Robin'. www.mbaker.co.uk/THE%20SECRET%20LIFE%20OF%20THE%20ROBIN.htm Some pet shops sell live mealworms but I get mine on line at Livefoods Direct www.livefoodsdirect.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KEQjw6Ya5BRDdyOewyo_Z_64BEiQA-fVKe-UqkGfs8HhFh3R3V3BN32gmaQy3Rm7MW9OHKzIYqRgaAiUK8P8HAQ At this time of year I have a standing order with them for 2 Kg of regular mealworms a week!!! Continue to enjoy your birds, Maurice :-)
+Maurice Baker
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, I will definitely take your advice re starting with the Robin. Yes patience is the key lol!
Oh and the for posting the links very helpful, the pound shop meal worms do not last long enough, not at this time of year but yes is such a blessing, I love the birds who visit me daily so much, the welcome they give you pulls on my heart strings, they are so adorable.
The first chicks I've seen this year are the sparrows, can't wait to see the baby chicks from the tits and other birds, I love them all the same, they all have to eat but when you develop a relationship with them it is something else!
I really can't believe they've started to follow me into town, today two pigeons, a magpie and a few jackdaws followed me, it is quite amusing as when I spot them, they seem to pretend to be preoccupied and fly off lol but show up again, waiting for me to leave the market, I had some funny looks with the jackdaws calling to me from people, especially when I started speaking to them lol!..I will have to film this and post it on Facebook. Thanks again for replying, so very kind of you. lovely to meet a kindred spirit who loves birds so much! 🐣 🐥 🐦 🐤
ali walker it's people like you who make the difference and are genuinely responsible for spreading love and passion towards birds and animals. Love you and may God continue to bless you dear.
I don't care where you have been in the world or what you have done.This is pretty darn fantastic!! Your patience has surely paid off! :)
Thank you for your generous comments, the pleasure I get from these little bird makes the time and effort spent in getting them to trust me so worth while.
You're welcome. One of my favorite stories is The Secret Garden. I like to dream of being in such a lovely place one day and this kind of thing happening...with lots of patience of course! ;)
How enchanting how you got them beautiful birds to eat from your hand is amazing
So cute birds and human friendship.
Joy of joys, thank you so much Maurice for sharing your friendship with the birds with us
How beautiful.
I find Robins very cheeky and crafty....love them.
To be honest, I love all birds and enjoy watching them feeding from the multitude of seeds, peanuts, diet balls etc. Also, love watching them having a splash in their bird bath.
Lovely video. Thanks.
Suet balls not diet balls......sorry !
I can't imagine how long this must have taken. Sir, your perseverance and your patience are remarkable. Simply amazing.
How lovely! I used to "have" a pet robin who ate from my hand. this is gorgeous video.
Very impressive, not a lot of people can gain a bird's trust to that degree, thanks for sharing!
This is the most special hand feeding garden birds video that I have viewed so far. Fascinating watching the little garden birds looking so relaxed and comfortable eating off your hand (hope I am right that it is your hand, Maurice). Thank you very much for sharing this interesting video.
+kwee eng Thank you, your generous comments are much appreciated. It is very satisfying to be able to gain their trust and yes it is my hand.
Wow! What incredible level of trust. It was lovely seeing the birds. They must have a clear view of your heart and hence the confidence. Amazing!
Thank you Maurice for sharing this absolutely beautiful video. I still feel guilty about passing judgement apon a elderly lady while I was sitting in my vehicle. I was waiting for someone to finish Grocery shopping. I assumed she was littering, throwing out cigarette butts. The way she was looking around as if she was wondering who was watching her? All she was doing was unloading bread crumbs, pieces of broken up bread out of plastic bag. I didn't realize it until after she left that she was in fact feeding the birds in the parking lot. To my amazement the birds were chirping about, fluttering about with happiness. :)
Such a lovely video to watch , I had a robin that I hand fed ,he had me very well trained as soon as he whistled I would go out with mealworms and he old come when I whistled
This truly is one of life’s greatest experiences right in your own backyard
Thank you Leni, it's difficult to express in word that feeling of being at one with nature when you have won the trust of wild birds that have a natural wariness of man.
I'm so jealous. I love how trusting these birds are just to get a quick snack from a kindly human. Awesome video.
beautiful video
Thank you so much for this wonderful video.Birds are beautiful fascinating creatures,there is something so calming about them...
Thanks Nick for your generous comments.
Love the designer hand rest! Brilliant video!
I had never seen this video of yours. Really nice!!!
3:15 love that one, so impatient XD
+Plasma Phi Yes, it has a nest full of hungry young chicks to feed.
Wow. I just found your channel and what a beautiful video. You're lucky to have had the time and very privileged to have gained their trust🙂
Hello Maurice. How very wonderful. Thankyou kind man.
Great capture Maurice! Thanks for sharing the video with us.😎👍JP
Maurice, thumbs up for your great, professional and so lovingly filmed videos. Your feathered friends seem to trust and eagerly adore you. You are a true bird lover and certainly an amazing person to get along with. Wishing you Love and Tranquility in this complex yet beautiful world. Greetings from Eilat!
Thank you for your very generous comments
This is amazing!
How did you even begin doing this?!
Just beautiful ❤️👍
That’s very sweet, must have taken years of practice!
Thank you so much for your comments.
I have added a link to an article on my website that explains how I managed to get these wild birds to trust me and finally feed from my hand. I don’t consider these birds as tame but just trusting. I hope you are successful if you try this out with your birds. THE SECRET LIFE OF THE ROBIN www.mbaker.co.uk/THE%20SECRET%20LIFE%20OF%20THE%20ROBIN.htm
Finally something interesting in my recommended! Aren’t birds just lovely?
Maurice I'm blown away and very humble!
Waaaaaaoooo I love these birds and the way u r feeding them
This is so special...don't think my birds would ever do this.
+Bish Maya Thanks Bish. You could do it if you really wanted to, all it takes quite a lot of time and patience.
so beautiful.. makes me happy just by watching. thank you for uploading!
Thank you Dani for your comments, I'm pleased that you enjoyed watching the video.
Thank you Dani for your kind comments, I find that just watching the birds in the garden all my stresses just seem to melt away.
as a bird owner / trainer to gain any birds trust to this level is hard work and a ton of patie nce , well done it must be so lovely to have them come and land on your hand or finger and watch them eat , and they have no fear from you even when you move your hand to feed them , i am sooo jealouse like most im sure
Wonderful to see bird feeding from hands.
Great channel, just subbed you, thanks for sharing.
I hate apartment living. We’re not allowed to feed the birds but course I do anyway. But I’ve been reported before, so for me, I take a couple cups of their food, sometimes I’ll throw in fruit or nuts- and then enjoy them through my window. You’re blessed with peace, quiet, space. I’d die to have such serenity. And you’re so so kind. I wish you all the peace and good in this world. Giving back to nature, that’s beautiful to me. Go anyone who cares about animals so passionately ❤️
Absolutely beautiful, how lovely and so precious ❤️
Que hermoso!!!! felicidades!!😊😊😊😊
this would be a dream to me, this is wonderful.
Warms my soul this video
Very nice. An inspiration to me as I have just got a mated pair of Robins to feed directly from my hand. Mealworms, waxworms, two tiny rumbling bellies and a bit of patience. Now they come when I call and no hesitation to come to hand.
Love it. I need to master this practice!!
WOW! WHAT A GREAT VIDEO. BRAVO!
Wow - are those live meal worms? I heard birds love them! I recently started to feed birds but I am happy to watch from the end of my garden it’s amazing how smart birds are 🕊
Trust. You must be a kind and patient person.
Great video. I was waiting for the 3 minute intro to skip past, but it never came. Thanks for that.
This was a very beautiful video and so you see again. If you love nature, then nature and everything that lives in it will also appreciate you and love you.
I love hand feeding garden birds so this was of special interest to me.....gave it a thumbs up...well done.
I did this in Paris once when an old lady in a park gave me some bird food and yes this is such a wonderful thing.
Very nice video , I really enjoyed it . You captured the personality of the birds.
Absolutely Gorgeous!❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful.... just so immaculate !
Thank you,
Fantastic! Beautiful little birdy friends
Teach me your ways. This is magical.
Beautiful!
many thanks maurice for the wonderful videos, they bring great joy to my ♥ heart, ty for taking the time to film and put up, I love birds and this video is just wonderful, my dream is to feed the little beauties like you are
+chrissy jones Thank you Chrissy for your very kind comments. Yes it is a wonderful felling to gain the trust of these delicate little wild beauties and I hope that one day your wish comes true. My advice is to try first with a robin to see if you can get it to come for food and then progressively get closer.
I love birds ❤
You are blessed, so charming!!!! 💫
Thank you Sam for your kind connebts
I loved watching this, its very therapeutic even for the watcher, I would love to be able to do that, thank you for putting in on here.
Thanks so much for your comments, glad you enjoyed watching.

Than you for your generous comments.
This is just beautiful
Gracious video!
Thats so awesome! I love birds very much. Thank you for this beautiful video.
I'm hoping to one day have birds eating from my hand, well done sir , I've been feeding the birds for a while now and have some regulars , that's the cool thing about getting old , this stuff is meaningful, ❤
This is literaly my goal in life .
what an absolute joy to watch ..thank you
+william bobinski Thank you William for your kind comments, I am glad that you enjoyed watching.
you're very lucky that you have a garden full of cute small birds.
We have only Crows, magpie's and those other pests that scare the others away...
What an awesome video and super cool.
Thats cool! Nice job!
Wow. That's really amazing. My garden robin is very tame. I think it may be the juvenile that I fed in summer, now adult. It briefly fed from my hand although I don't entertain that now. Rather, it does greet me most mornings awaiting a soft pellet or two.
Very cute - Thank YOU!
Lovely video, precious moments and wonderful to watch. :-)
Thanks Sue for kind comments, you can imagine the pleasure I got filming this.
I am really impressed ! Thank you so much for this beautiful moment.
Thank you Chahcona for your kind comments.
Excellent, well done Maurice.
Very satisfying to watch and good quality video as well; thank you for sharing.
Happy birds 🐦🐥💜
It is really a peaceful scene to see this video in the middle of hectic life , God bless you Sir
Thank you Arthur, yes it can be a good way to escape from everything that is going on at the moment. Best wishes Maurice
Cool. The only time I've ever held a bird was when this little hummingbird flew into the sliding glass door and knocked itself out. I did pick that tiny critter up. A few moments later it woke up looked around and flew away.
Wow 🤩 that’s amazing
Lovely and thank you for sharing have a blessed day
Thanks Linda for commenting and yes I will.
Какие милые! Благодарю Вас, Морис, за возможность порадоваться на птичек! :)
+Сергей Дручинин Спасибо за ваши теплые комментарии
