An Interesting Encounter

[Andrew]

I took a walk this evening around the neighborhood and came across a Japanese White Eye (Small green bird about 3 inches tall with yellow and white undersides and with white feathers around its eyes). He was standing in the middle of the road. I walked over to him and squatted down and said hello. He didn't fly away. I put my hands down to him and he hopped onto the palm of one of my hands. My intention was to carry him over to a fence near the side of the road where he could perch without danger of getting run over.

I didn't restrain him with my hands. He just stood perched on my palm as I walked him to the side of the road. I offered him the fence. He looked up at me then flew off to perch on a twig about 12 feet off the ground.

I continued on my walk.
