You can take a small boy to the zoo and show him tigers and rhinos and black bears and emus…
But if he finds out that a peacock will come this close when you’ve accidentally dropped two Cheerios…
Nothing else can possibly compare!
Zoos are fabulous, but I love that kids can often be just as enchanted feeding some treats to some pigeons, squirrels or ducks at the park. 
Happy Wednesday!
Yup! It’s the same reason my boys get such a kick out of getting clack-capped chickadees to land on their hand to take a black oil sunflower seed.
I’d get a huge kick out of that too!
Oh! So sweet & enchanting, indeed…
and re: Risa’s comment… I’ll have to try that with the chickadees in our garden… would they really come and eat out of our hands? Unbelievable!
