I guess that has fully stopped in the last 100 years but before then all birds would have been a target. I wonder how long until they relax and don't worry?

Interestingly some types/breeds of birds seem
far more ‘brave’ than others .. rather like tropical fish where ‘dither’ or shoaling fish are nervous/ skittish when you approach wheras
Cichlids are really inquisitive and will approach the glass …

We get most breeds of birds in our garden as we are surrounded by countryside land ..
oddly enough there are some times where the garden is dead - not a single bird in sight until I spot our trusty Dunnock who must live in tje damn garden !!
