That was totally cool with the chickadee & I see the black squirrel was getting in on the action too! We don't have black squirrels in my part of Vermont, for that matter, they may not habituate anywhere in the state for that matter, that is an educated guess... The wren shot was priceless, gotta love that EF 400 mm f/5.6L USM lens! The only way I will ever give it up is from my cold dead fingers!!! Bill Farr... Vermont, USA... :-)
In the U.K. the wren is quite a common bird and we have a couple that forage around our feeder, but like the dunnock never actually eats from the feeder but on the insects the goldfinches dropped nyger seed attracts. One of my favourite birds, and one I started my bird photography on many years ago.
maybe I misunderstood the title of your video but it seems like your video didn't have anything to do with the 400mm lens but mostly about how you fed some birds out of your hands, maybe the title should be (watch me feed some birds)
Nice to see the Canon 400 5.6 as there isn't a whole lot out there on this lens. It doesn't have the glamour or IS of the other lens but its still a great value with great image quality.
Thanks, Melvin. We love this lens, the quality of the images, and the lightweight portability makes it a great lens for birding. Shooting freehand is a lot of fun for us and it offers a great deal of mobility to enjoy the experience!
I concur Melvin... the EF 400mm f/5.6L is an outstanding value considering it comes in around $10,000.00 with image stabilization. I have printed many high resolution images as a result of this affordable beautiful lens... :-)

We agree Willam, such a great lens.
