Hi Tassie, yeah looks like he's been to the hairdresser and had a blondie streak put in for that 'sun-kissed look' eh?!!

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best

Tassie

HI Hev
The humble Sparrow is not so common around here any more since the common Myna have moved in they are a big pest.

We have been in our home now for 25 years - during which I have kept a record of the birds spotted in our yard - it has been interesting to see how the bird arrivals have changed, and the 'Pecking Order' that has been established. We have never had a sparrow in all that time! Obviously some of the bigger birds have them spooked.
Also - friends rescued a injured sparrow and when they tried to release it once it had healed, it returned time and time again to the cage. Obviously knew when it was onto a good thing! They kept it as a pet for years - it behaved much like a budgerigar!!

I love sparrows, I know that they can sometimes annoy people (like at Cafe's) but I like them personally, I think they are cute!!
