No offence mate but I think you will find that my post above does contain facts , evidence in fact that habituating wild birds to close human contact aint a good idea.

I could also tell you about a starling which had its tail stapled down to a table, a pigeon doused in lighter fluid and set alight, swans doused in hot treacle, or a robin found nearly starved after a charming individual shut it in a biscuit tin, or twenty or thirty similar tales.

taming a bird to feed from the hand is a charming idea and in an ideal world might be okay, but this world of ours is not ideal and doing this is not in the birds best interests - fact !
