Was out in the garden planting some new things and transplanting others when one of the local pileated woodpeckers came to use my garden fork’s handle as a perch and hang out for some fifteen minutes, even with me moving and working just a few feet away. They’re usually into having more space between us, so it was an awesome experience.
Got buzzed a few times by some hummingbirds too - they can get aggressive when the flowers are late, and they’ll fly close enough that you can feel the wake from their flight on your neck and face.
So great when birds realise you aren’t a threat and they carry on in the space as though they you aren’t there
100%! Earlier this year a bluebird perched on me a few days after I had rescued it from a window situation (I choose to believe) and it was amazing. It’d be great if hummingbirds weren’t so pushy though…
