Thanks Tobi. I really like birds and honestly would love to have some as pets. Obviously that isn't ideal for the animals themselves. I have been interested in taking up bird-watching for the past three years but have not been very successful in finding anyone who shares that interest.

I had a bird fly up to me a few weeks ago. It sat eye level to me, about half a foot away, just staring at me for 20 seconds then flew away. I have also had a few random birds (mostly young mourning doves) take shelter in my backyard a couple times but they were skittish. Both were fledglings and one I was able to pick up.

I have given up on the idea of having birds as pets. Hopefully one day I can make a stronger connection to some wild birds in my own backyard. I should probably buy some bird feed then. :)
