It was adorable!




I thought that the sparrow family was humble. Then I went to Lowe's food store. There, right in the middle of the O of the sign, above the store was the sparrow couple's nest. Oh, you guys took my hay and stuff from my yard to build a nest across the street. That is not fair!:( Why couldn't the young couple raise their fledgelings in my yard? They were proudly touting their choice of place. Do you see the babies? No! I can't get up there to see them. I didn't think about that, said Mrs. Sparrow. You offended Mr sparrow with that hard bread and we never looked back. They serve soft bread at Lowe's. I am sorry about the hard bread and now I won't get to see the sparrow family until the children are grown. That is the way it is.

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
