Chaffinch handfeeding in nature

Share on Google+
Most of us know that wild birds don't approach humans for any reason. Even If they are starving and offered some tasty seeds in hand.
Wild birds are not city pigeons. But...here is the exception to the rule. Chaffinches, in a park-like place, most probably British, behaving too friendly to humans.They are just like seeking for the human presence, knowing that they will be offered food.
That's a very peculiar behavior which is, most probably, the result of a time consuming effort of a man (maybe the one in the video) and the daring willingness of a male chaffing to get some seeds. Once it was done, then it was communicated to other chaffinches as well as the scientific studies have shown for this kind of animal behaviors. 
Anyway, enjoy this beautiful video!
