Photographer Records Fun Videos Of Birds Eating From Her Palm In Slow Motion

There are many spectacular bird photos and videos out there on this website, but this time, there’s a special treat in this niche. Bird photographer Jocelyn Anderson has a special way of capturing the birds on her camera. Among her more typical works, there are quite a lot of videos of her feeding the birds from her palm in slow motion.

The slow-mo has a twofold use: first of all, the birds look awesome when they’re slowed down on film, and the second, which is a more practical reason, is that the birds act pretty fast, and it’s harder to see what they’re doing at normal speed.

Whatever the motivation or the reason is, the result is spectacular, interesting, and somewhat relaxing. Who would’ve thought that watching birds eat would be so satisfying? It’s also nice that the birds get their treats and don’t have to worry about food, even if just for a little while.

Jocelyn gave an interview to Bored Panda explaining all of the details and the idea: “I started photographing birds about 5 years ago. I was taking walks on local nature trails and thought it would be fun to take some photos during the walks. I remember seeing a wee bouncing ball of a bird, which I later learned was a kinglet. I immediately became enchanted with this tiny bird and the challenge of photographing him.”

“One of the wonderful things about bird photography is that it creates a strong connection between the photographer and nature; the more you learn about how to listen and watch, the more nature will share with you. The camera also captures images that are too fast or too far for the human eye, giving a look into a world not normally seen. I am constantly inspired by the beauty, the intelligence, and the antics of these wonderful creatures.”

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

Why are there so many downvotes on solidly non-controversial comments? :(

This is in Michigan! I live less than 3 miles from here. My kid's school has field trips here often. This is part of the Metropark's Heron Rookery/bird rehab/nature center area. The birds on come to you if you are super calm, steady and honestly, at peace. It is so lovely.
