Do you find some birds are getting more tame/friendly?

Since lockdown in the UK, and there being hardly any planes, I can hear the birds chirping loudly and often not flying off when I get near. I think they are happier.

Here's a very friendly Heron I met on the canal today.

Yes! I saw a Heron fly over the community tennis court last weekend and everyone stopped and watched in awe.

@DecafD Herons have always watched humans from afar, but lately I see them all the time. I think they are less bothered about us than before.

@Raine I agree. These animals are less scared with us all being stuck inside

@Raine I see them on our golf course and South Carolina. Not sure what this bird was but it decided to visit us on our deck in our time share in Hilton Head.

@samueltyler2 they hang around where there's lots of fish. I'm not sure what your bird is, but I've seen them before.
