I find birds to be pretty receptive to me. I photograph them and countless times, they've allowed me to get close. During the colder months I usually handfeed wild birds and they'll all line up to eat from my hands.

I also volunteer with wild animals biweekly, and they amaze me. Seagulls will enter their cages on their own, once I'm done cleaning. Owls will stare deep into my eyes and watch my every move. Yesterday I even had a bluejay peck on my head, play with my laces and perch on my shoulder.
