Ok thank you! Just today a pair of chickadees came to my yard and almost flew into my hand but my friend scared it away. I'll keep on trying for my first chickadee picture thank you for the advice!

Well All I did was stand there with some seeds and chips and they came. I also went to a park and lots of people were giving them food so I think they got use to it.

How do you get a bird to fly onto you hand? Do you just stand there with bread were there is a lot of birds? I have tried with seeds and the 20 or so house sparrows in my yard but they just fly off my birdfeeder and away into my neighbors trees... Please tell me!
