User's notes

A wild bird that is semi-tame, it has visited our house about half a dozen times in the past six months, I know it is the same bird as it sits very close and imitates my whistling. It almost flew into my head this time. Once it even was on our front screen door for awhile. Haven't been able to hold it but able to get within a metre of the bird. This time it was with a juvenile.

This bird visited again today, flew onto the roof of my car a moment after I arrived home and got out. Was with a different bird from yesterday.
