Aaron, our bird lover, went outside to fill up the bird feeders. He stood very still for a long time and was finally successful.
If you look very closely, you'll see a bird eating out of his hand. It was a brave and hungry chickadee.
Our chickens really love the ground under the birdfeeders. But they don't like walking in the snow. So Aaron shoveled a path from our coop to the bird feeders.
The chickens appreciated the path very much.
But it was a narrow "one chicken wide" path. Whenever two chickens going opposite directions met, neither one wanted to give way and step into the deeper snow on either side of the path. It made for entertaining viewing from the window.

What a thoughtful boy Aaron is, to consider the needs of the chickens this way!:-) I'm sure he is their new BFF! And how cool that he can get a wild chickadee to eat out of his hand! I'm going to mention this to our "bird feeders" and see who wants to try staying still the longest...

It helps if you go out when the bird feeders are empty and stand still with food on your hand. The really brave ones will come close.
