By day she’s a professional wild bird researcher, but in her free time, she loves to share her interest in birds online. Some are educational while others highlight just how creative Drin can get with feeding birds. But one in particular made her go viral. We’d explain, but it’d be easier to show you, so keep scrolling to start your own virtual bird adventure!
1. Here we see Drin’s first use of her “face feeder” – a pair of fun sunglasses attached to a paper plate that is filled with yummy bird food.
2. The first bird wasn’t quite sure what to make of Drin, but with her second try, they became a bit more curious.
3. Before she knew it, Drin was mastering the art of being a human bird feeder.
4. Her following quickly grew, and she was rightfully deemed a real-life Disney princess.
5. One of the things that amaze people about Drin is her ability to stay so calm and still when birds abruptly land on her.
6. But she was happy to share that even a professional bird nerd like herself can get caught off guard every now and again.
7. After many magical videos, one of Drin’s followers offered to give her a GoPro they no longer used. Thanks to their generosity, we get to see what Drin sees!
8. These adorable birds are even more precious up close!
9. Even though Drin is the bird-lover in her relationship, her husband was happy to tag along. Here’s a clip of them getting started!
10. The birds weren’t sure of Drin’s husband at first, but soon enough, he got his first bird! Needless to say, it was a moment these lovebirds will never forget.
11. As much as Drin loves birds, the feeling isn’t always mutual. This Blue Jay, for example, was not enthusiastic about her disguise.
12. Speaking of which, thanks to the suggestion of a follower, she decided to give a ghillie suit a shot. Not only did it work, but she also made a friend she named Fred!
13. Like the Blue Jay, this Hairy Woodpecker wasn’t here for the food. He did, however, decided to give Drin a quick inspection.
14. After countless hours of earning the trust of the local birds, Drin has discovered that she no longer needs her disguise to feed them – they’ll eat right out of her hand!
15. But her fans needn’t worry – her silly disguises aren’t going anywhere!
The level of happiness that Drin radiates when a bird lands on her plate hasn’t changed since the first time it happened, and it’s such a joy to watch!
