Lonely bird?

Hi I just joined this forum. I wanted to join because I recently raised a female house sparrow. She’s eight weeks old and I raised her from the egg with the intent of releasing her. I tried really hard not to let her imprint on me however she did and she’s very imprinted on other people as well and has no fear of dogs. She’s also not accepted by her own kind so I have decided to keep her as a pet since she’s not protected under federal bird laws. Her name is Miracle (Mira). I spend a lot of time with her but I feel she needs a companion. Possibly another hand raised house sparrow? Any thoughts or ideas?

She's very cute. I am afraid I don't really know much about sparrows. Does she live outside?

I would think that she’d be ok with a finch type bird that is not too aggressive.
