Isn't it doing this to protect its nest?

Penelope casserole 😂 ❤ Best. Bird name. Ever. Glad you have that protective eyewear. This video made my day!

She's probably got a nest nearby and maybe went to feed some babies?

I wrote about my little friend over a month before. Since than my pal (I’ve named her Phoebe) comes to visit almost everyday. I go in my backyard and she comes to me. Some days she is particularly aggressive and gets a few pokes in, I wear protective glasses that she has scratched up. We are best friends now. I love the company. It’s quite special.

So, I got poked in the eye yesterday. It didn’t feel good. Before it got me she landed on me too. We had been visiting for a good ten minutes. Very bold little EP. It was quite an amazing encounter. If she comes back, I’ll wear protective eyewear. Good idea.

Fucking cool 2:34

A Symbol of Protection and Guardianship In many ancient cultures that strongly believed in the universe using creatures to send messages, birds were considered guardians and protectors. Based on this fact, birds following you is a sign that your angels or higher power are watching and guiding your every move.

Charming little cute bird, I love when they chirp and flip their tail like they all happy

So cute your lucky

That's so cool though, bring her some food, enjoy the video, is there more?

Amazing I love bp's, in socal they are playful but I've never seen them just come land on someone, your lucky, see if she will go home with you😊

❤

I now have an eastern Phoebe that follows me around.

Omg....you are incredibly lucky! If this happened to me, this would bring me to tears!!

This is so cool! I’ve hung out with and sang to a lot of birds in my day, I would love if this happened! Thanks for sharing! So fun to watch

Oh my gosh she’s so beautiful! Ha ha I love how she played with your hair! It’s like she saying, “you could use a different hairstyle today! “So cute I can’t stand it

Just brought this video up, and my dog (a Norwegian Elkhound) looked up with a start and eventually began barking at the computer as the bird continued.

I came across your video because I am having the same experience, I was trying to find out if my bird is a Pine Warbler or a Eastern Phoebe. The bird has been hanging out at my art studio (garage) for about a year, We live in East Cobb Georgia and I find the bird connection so magical!

Thanks for sharing. I just had the same experience right down to Phoebe going for my eyes! The Phoebe showed up when I started cleaning up leaves, grabbing every bug/worm, and eventually perching on me for the best view I suppose.

Eastern Phoebe's are here in Texas during fall-spring season.

I've had one hanging out with me as I was digging garden beds for about six weeks, hopping down and eating bugs. Today it landed on me over and over (and tried to eat my freckles and eyes) as I was transplanting things.

They eat all the things that piss me off. I love those birds. They’ve been nesting under my deck since I moved in the house 14 years ago. Two broods a year. Sometimes three if the weather’s right. Many chicks have hatched during that time. I’m actually waiting til the fall to redo the deck. Can’t disturb my buddies

wants to perch on your nose?..no-see-ums? skeeters?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Say's Phoebe that perches on the highest part of the roof of the appt building next door does a call for 20 minutes straight every evening around dusk.... since I've been using the Merlin App to call her in...she has yet to land....but hovers over me and almost did today...it's only the 3 rd day...and she came in this evening without the call...they just must be a really curious species of fly catchers..

Just killed one today in my kitchen this morning but not that big don't know how it got in maybe overnight

I wonder if she has a nest nearby and wants you to stay away? How cool is it though, to have her be with you!! As long as your eyes are protected 😳😂💕

For a few days now ive noticed there's a couple of eastern pheobes that chill on a tree outside my attic window. They also have a nest right above the window! I started talking (and whistling) to them, and now every time I go to the attic, they come by and make the same noise Penelope does in this video! I can't tell if they're trying to be friends with me or not. Every once in a while one of them will start flying towards me, hovers for just a second, Then changes its mind and flies away. I've been putting a handful of dry mealworms and a bowl of water on the windowsill every day. Unfortunately, they don't seem interested, as when I go to the attic to check on the mealworms, it seems like nothing touches them. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but they're lovely to watch and talk to :)

I found an Eastern Phoebe on my gate one afternoon after work. It didn't move as I pulled into the driveway, or as I opened the gate. I moved in face to face with it and offered my finger as a perch, but it flew away, maybe not ready for that yet.

So so adorable. She’s like a little birdie-cat! ☺️❤️

What a blessing!!

This is amazing 🖤

Maybe she sees her reflection in your eye and is trying to drive "the other bird" away from the big object of her affection!

It's 2022, does she still visit you? So cute! And you are so lucky to have her!

This is amazing

I have one very friendly allows me to feed hangs around all the time awesome

This is amazing! I thought I was the only one. I had been putting out a container of dried mealworms for wrens and a lone Eastern Phoebe started hanging out a month ago every day, all day long (it is January and cold weather here in Virginia). Never saw one before and took me a while to identify it. Always checking out whether I fill the mealworm container and complaining if I let it get low. It is super friendly and not afraid but you's takes the cake - flying on you. think your phoebe likes the vantage point of sitting high up on you to catch insects but why so much less afraid of humans than other birds. The only other super friendly bird I have encountered like this was last year's Red Breasted Nuthatches (it was an irruptive migration year for them and it was the first they ever showed up in Virginia).

Yeah! Unbelievably friendly birds. One was playing with my hands while i was trimming my bonsai trees in the backyard a few years ago. Every one that I’ve seen has been comfortable with my presence, but I guess every now and then, one is just a social butterfly.

HOW DID YOU GET HER TO LIKE AND TRUST YOU ?

If they're like chickens they're attracted to the glint of the shining eyeball and will peck it thinking it's a flash of a bug.

We have an eastern phoebe who befriended us in the same way a little over a year ago. She watches everything we do in our backyard, usually within a distance close enough to reach out and touch her. Whether we are gardening or just sitting on the patio reading, Phoebe appears and hangs out with us. She has sat on us many, many times. Last March she took colored threads from my hand and flew off with them, so I knew she must be building a nest. Over the spring & summer months we saw very little of her and when we did see her she didn't stop to socialize. We're sure she raised at least 2 families, based on the young who showed up at our dried mealworm tray for a few weeks. But in September when her mothering duties were over, she began visiting daily again. She seems to want nothing from us except friendship. It's a remarkable experience to be chosen by a wild bird for friendship.

Sorry, but that is just too darn cute! We had a Black Phoebe last year that would fly up to our fence and catch tossed mealworms on the fly, but not near as friendly as yours!

This is absolutely amazing! Great video!

That is so beautiful.

I have one the same

My husband and I recently have been visited by a friendly phoebe in our backyard. 2 weeks ago, this bird was following my husband around outside and we thought it was a freak, one time occurrence. Well today, the bird came onto my lawnmower after I had finished mowing the back yard. And kept flying around me like the bird wanted to land on me. These birds are so special!! It truly warms my heart that this has happened on more than one occasion with other people. I love these cute birds. 🥰😍

This is so sweet

Maybe the bird wants to get your eyelashes? They eat caterpillars and spiders and lashes might look leggy to a Phoebe. Who knows!

My daughter has two mini horses and dogs, and whenever she let's the dogs out , a pair of these birds have a fit. We fi all figured out they are pheopbes! They make such a racket so we're sure they laid eggs in the old Robin's nest on her porch.
