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.

Wow. That’s so cool ! Where I am I’d only see a heron in the zoo. 😃

@bijouxbroussard I'm sure you have nice native birds there that we dont have. London is in lockdown, so we find places to walk and enjoy nature.

@Raine that bird was in London? That would seem odd.

@Raine I once saw a condor flying, during a camping trip (wingspan 10 feet). But the everyday birds here that I see and hear are blackbirds, crows and seagulls.

@bijouxbroussard we get all of those in the UK too. The seagulls seem to have moved inland and are everywhere. My favourite is the Robin.
