Thank you Cindy, Alia, Lisa, Dione, Claire, Carole, Rick, Sally, Kerri, and Kathryn! Yes, caught them in the act (this was the second time so out came the camera!) and I might actually have gotten them to eat from my hand as they were still young and let me get pretty close with the camera. But it's better to not have them become dependent on you. I will let them eat the seeds off the ground, if there are some there. But I don't like them knocking the seeds out of the feeder. They can polish a feeder off in 15 minutes- where it takes the birds an entire week! These two really were cute but not cute enough to bend "the rules".
Thanks for your comments- I've had a busy weekend and will catch up with posting and commenting tomorrow.
They are very cute. I had to give way to five Kangaroos hopping down my street yesterday morning. Looks like the wildlife are looking for their Christmas dinner.
@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole! I'm sure they've figured out that for every person who shoos them away there are about 3 who will feed them! @bruni Thank you Bruni!

I agree with you...it's best if you let them fend for themselves.
@bruni Thank you Bruni!
