Little Sparrow and I

have a new code at work for when I am running late from break or lunch. She sits on the side of the building with no perch whatsoever as if to say, you are cutting it close. I didn't take heed and lost 5 whole minutes in the morning the other morning. Now I am aware of her code. I thought she was just showing off to me. She was picking up worms and then did that fancy trick and I do know that showing off is not like the sparrows at all. They are so very humble all of the time, except in emergencies, like when "Mommy" is late for work, at work. "Go figure"

Sparrow's Spring nest

Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow were caught, by me yesterday, shopping together for a new home. They flitted and flirted, just outside my window. Talking and discussing and lovingly disagreeing, if not arguing the benefits and the pitfalls of living at our house.
Mrs. Sparrow was very impressed with the 2 "ready made" nests hung outside our window. Mr. Sparrow hadn't even thought of them as "ready-made" nests. He used them for the provision of building materials for the private home that he had in mind in a surprise and hidden place. He doesn't like the openness, at all, of our porch. It's much too populated. When Mr. Sparrow gets it into his mind to give his sweet chicky a peck, he wants the freedom to do it without a bunch of younguns peeking over the nest to see what comes next.
Mrs. Sparrow was impressed that the porch was fully protected from hailstones. We all know what happened to a great many of last years' nests in that surprise hailstorm we had. Male birds seem to have a very short memory for storms. They have only one thing in mind in the nest building season... 03/09
