So I tried to think of a way I could get one these beautiful creatures to land on my finger?Holding ones arm out is difficult after a few minutes.So you need a brace for your arm.I used a monopod but you can use a tripod or a pole.

    They are beautiful birds and very lovely to hold on fingers. I used to have a Canary in a cage since its birth. After few months, I was able to enter my hand so it stands on it and feed from too. Thank you for the wonderful pictures
