Did you know....

When I was young, I learned that the whippoorwill bird stops calling when you point at it, even if you're some distance away.
It's like being able to feel when someone looks at you.

yes , Gem, same here, I have a feeling that many birds feel your eyes on them and one needs to not look at them directly... If I walk to the bird feeder to fill it up, I m really careful to never look at them directly and then they stick around and do not fly away, really interesting
