Hand-Taming Wild Birds at the Feeder
Alfred G. Martin
Paperback
(Countryman Pr, July 1, 1991)
Description Many species of wild birds can become your friend and feed from your hand. In this engaging book, Al Martin explains the techniques he developed over more than fifty years to gain the trust of wild birds. Many of AlÂ’s visitors, young and old alike, experienced the thrill of birds landing on them to receive the food they had been trained to expect! And many readers of this book have recounted similar experiences. Al Martin also reveals many tricks and secrets to attract birds to your back yard. He shows how to build a birdbath the right way, how to build houses and feeders, and how to photograph birds and other wild creatures. Perhaps more enjoyable than anything are AlÂ’s anecdotes about the many friends he has made among the wild birds wherever he has lived.
