I wouldn't call myself a good photographer, but look what I can do with two hands. One is holding the camera and the other is holding the bird, and I somehow managed not to drop either one!

They aren't really friendly, and the vermilion flycatcher would have been gone in a heartbeat if I relaxed my grip. But at least he wasn't biting me - some of the wild birds do bite.

I volunteer with a couple of different groups of bird banders so I get to hold lots of wild birds in my hand. With the passerines my job is to take them out of the mist nets after they've been trapped, and the flycatcher was fresh out of the net and about to be put in a small bag so I could take him to the bander.

There's a variety of jobs with the hummingbirds, and the bird in the picture has already been processed. We feed and release them after they're banded, but a lot of them are in no hurry to leave. The broadbills in particular might sit on your hand for five minutes. I think they're waiting for the sugar rush from the feeding to hit their bloodstream, and when it does hit they take off at full speed.
