[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3225082, member: 7900"] If they stay in your area, one can actually get close to them. When we used to camp in Purgatoire River Campground in Colorado, we would put feeders out. We would set one close to where we had chairs around the fire pit. Once they got used to us being that close, I would go stand a couple of feet away from the feeder. Once they got used to me there, I would take the feeder down and go sit down in a chair, holding the feeder by its base in my hands. After they got used to me holding the feeder, I would remove all but two perches (opposite of each other) and put Scotch tape over the "stations" that didn't have perches. Once they got used to only the two perches, I would remove the perches and hold the feeder with my index fingers "crooked out," and they would land on my finger to feed. That could usually be done over a period of just 2 or 3 days. [/QUOTE]
