Worth More Than Two

Day 248: They say, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Nope, that's wrong. This right here is worth more than all the gold in Midas' hoard. It's taken several days and a lot of tries to accustom the Porch Parrots to the shiny silver point-and-shoot Sony in my right hand, can of seeds tucked under my arm on the same side. This fellow flew a couple of circles around me before deciding it was safe to land, but once there, he seemed content to stay. Eventually, I moved the hand closer to the feeder and nudged him gently onto the tray, then proceeded to lift the lid to fill it. Did he budge? Nope. Either he was very hungry (not likely!) or he feels confident that the Bringer of Food means no harm to Parrots. Even the sound of a sunflower seed cascade didn't bother him.
