If you want to befriend wild birds that’s the way to go. They are much more comfortable and willing to risk human contact if you arrange it that they are above you. Then you can work at it to get them more and more friendly.
I finally managed to get a photo of my friendly wild male peewee (Grallina cyanoleuca) this week. He doesn’t like the camera so I had to hide it behind my back then do a quick-draw shot from the hip. Unfortunately my frame of reference wasn’t a bullseye…
The Dutch government wants to reduce the size of the goose population back to its 2005 levels which, experts say, entails the slaughter of 500,000 birds.

Of Course people don’t like it when there are too many wild birds in the wrong spot.

Wow! I love that shot, Tony! Perspective is EVERYTHING…and that includes CAGW mythology!
I concur! Great visual example of perspective!
Nice photo Tony
