Two birds in one.
I recall reading about a family that put up a seated scarecrow figure, made with one gloved hand extended, near their feeders and then seed was place on the glove. Once the birds got used to it (I would think you would want to bring it closer by stages), the people would put on the same clothing and take the scarecrow's place. That way they had every bird species that visited eating out of their hands. Not quite the same as having the birds doing it sans disguise, but they thought they had a valuable source of entertainment there.
