Taken at a reserve near Sarasota last week. I have never seen such inquisitive birds,they are attracted by voices and will fly to you to investigate if you have food for them, it is illegal to feed them, but by just holding up an empty hand attracts them to you.

thanks for looking.
 
They can become very dependant on people feeding them, I spoke to the local Audbon soc. rep about the same thing whilst there, he said that after a while they will ignore natural food and look for people with peanuts, the problem then is, if you don't turn up with peanuts they will starve, bizzare but there you go.
