1) It is quite possible to have a wild bird come and eat out of your hand. The key is to remain very calm and not make any sudden movements. Have the food (probably seeds are best) in your hand and try to make sure the bird sees you. It helps if you make eye contact with the bird and even speak softly and in a very calm manner to it. Try to let it know that you are not an enemy. Have your hand held out so he can see the food. Finally, if he comes and lands on your hand, don't become scared and pull your hand away!

What do panthers eat like what do panthers eat in the wild

The exact answer depends on whether you mean the North American puma, or the South American jaguar.

They are both meat eaters primarily, so they would eat small and large rodents, rabbits, deer, pigs, domestic pets, and birds and fish if they can get them.

What does a groundhog like to eat

In the wild they eat foliage, nuts, grains, ferns, flowers, grass and fruit. Favourites are chickweed, dandelion, clover, plantains, asters and sorrel. They love juicy plants, cherries and blackberries. They also readily eat cultivated crops like peas, lettuce, beans, squash, broccoli, corn and soybeans. Fully mature groundhogs can eat a lot of plant matter -- more than a pound daily.

They are not completely herbiverous. They occasionally eat snails, june bugs, grasshoppers and small bird eggs.

If you plan to have one as a pet, be aware it needs a lot of space, will chew everthing in sight, doesn't like cuddling, and will hibernate in winter. In some States they are ******* as pets, so check that. You might also consider having a rabies shot as they can carry that.

What are backyard birds?

Backyard birds are birds who visit your backyard. Which birds visit your backyard depends on where you live, the environment, and what foods may be available. Some birds will eat from feeders while, others only eat from the ground or from fruit/flower trees/bushes.

Several years ago, I created a wild bird garden for my mother in S. Florida. I have 20+ feeders, 3 water fountains, and a few trees/plants including, mango tree, hibiscus, berries, and more. We are visited daily by dozens of Monk parakeets aka Quaker Parrots, Blue Crown Parrots, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Doves, Cardinals, and more!

I can answer most questions about backyard birding (i.e.; foods, types of birds) for anyone interested in this hobby!

If I want to put out bird seed as a treat for the birds, how do I hang it? I don't want to use a table, I want to hang it from the trees.

There are recipes for homemade bird seed treats that involve suet or some other sticking agent that keeps it together so you can hang it in a lump. But I came across a very cute web posting with a recipe for a bird seed treat that is heart shaped! Check out this link http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/activities/crafts/wild-bird-treat/

If I want to put out a treat for the wild birds in my garden, is it different to the stuff I would give my pet parrot?

Although there is some overlap, the food you give your pet bird may not be exactly the same as the food eaten by birds in the wild. Here is a link to a recipe for a wild bird treat on the National Geographic site, so you can be sure it's appropriate for wild birds.
