This one's the ultimate...

I was sitting on the deck having an adult beverage after a long day's hunt (I've no memory of how successful it had been). This bird came up to look at me closely, showing absolutely no fear of me. I put my drink down, stood up, got my phone out and took this shot, then I put my phone in my pocket and picked her up.

A "pet" indeed (I held her against my chest and looked at her very closely).

She struggled a little so I put her down and she walked off of the deck, never getting that close again.
