Seeing a bird eating from someone's hand reminds me of (many years ago) taking a group of blind children to London and getting them to stand, in Trafalgar Square, holding out handfuls of pigeon food. I'll never forget the look on the children's faces when they felt the pigeons landing on their heads and arms!
That's lovely Polly - I have a robin in the garden who will eat out of my hand, but then robins are often quite tame. Not seen a blackbird do it before
Thats lovely bensmum.He not only does it with me but my OH too.We were away last week and were a bit worried about him,but he even came to our son too.
