[quote:Jessie:MV8xMjQ3MTM0XzIwMzI4NzkwXzdDOERCQzVC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1138823] the crimson rosellas around here land on my daughter all the time, and the kookabarras sit on the outdoor table when we're out there and the wrens and robins come in the house all the time, they know if you're a threat or not, they study you even. I know why each bird is prompted to come around close, us living where we do benifits them, the rosellas eat when the horses are fed in winter, the kookabarras eat when there are bbq's and when we cut firewood, and the little wrens and robins eat because the garden is more productive than the bush, and the sheds and house give more shelter then the trees.. over all, the birds are soft around here and they like the space we have created, I'm pretty sure of it. You must do something OP that caught the little birds eye. [/quote] I was thinking that maybe they know that you are no harm to them but why don't they all land on me? that is what puzzles me. We do have an enormous amount of birds near the office though. Maybe your right [/quote]

I never thought about asking people here what this means until now. The only reason I follow threads at GLP is I saw premonitions from many threads here come to light.
Two years ago I was walking into my office and a common everyday sparrow landed on my shoulder. My first thought was that it was disoriented and it would fly away but it did not. I reached for it and it scurried around to my other shoulder but did not fly away.
I went into my office and my secretary didn't notice it so I pointed it out to her. Her response was there is something wrong with you Jessica. Just so you understand her response. Animals seem to be attracted to me and I love animals as much as they seem to love me.
Anyway, I went about my business for the day and this bird stayed with me all day. If I went into a structure it would fly to a tree or to the roof of the structure and as soon as I came out it would be back on my shoulder again and get in my car with me to my next appointment.
I went back to my office at the end of the day and two of my employees pulled in at the end of their day and walked to me to say hello. The bird left my shoulder and plucked a cigarette from the mouth of one of my employees, flew with it a short way then pecked it to nothing before flying to a tree. As soon as they left it flew back to my shoulder and went home with me for the night. My cat Bob wasn't thrilled but what was I to do lol. The next day it popped on my shoulder, went to work with me then flew away never to return.
I have no idea what to make of this occurrence and wonder if anyone could enlighten me here.
