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!

Kitchen scraps are generally fed to larger birds
such as ducks and gulls. Because birds who eat from birdfeeders are generally
much smaller, you should tear the food scraps into very small pieces so they
can fit into very small beaks. Monitor the birdfeeder after a couple of days,
and if the food is still there, it means the birds don't like it.
