Well, a hummingbird face. I was primarily focusing on their little faces.

(2,825 posts)Do you think some birds see you a lot, kind of get to know you, and don't mind your getting close to them?
Some might even figure out you are a benefactor?

(90,780 posts)Fewer birds stop by if anyone else is with me. As long as I'm alone the birds go about their feeding and playing...ignoring me.
That said - Hummingbirds actually light on my SO. They've perched on his shoulders and his arms. So, he wins.

(90,780 posts)I sorta move their food close to me and that kinda forces them to be within range.
