Walking the driveway
a little sparrow fledgeling!!
We have a lot of birdhouses in our trees, so I'm not sure which one he fell out of...I'm glad that he's alright though, usually the ones we find are already dead, since it's such a large drop
but he's safe now!
I plan on keeping him...I've had many sparrows in my life so I know how to take care of them. Plus I already checked with the local metroparks center, they said it's okay because sparrows are known as "pests" and are not under any sort of law (along with pigeons and starlings).
He has a big appetite for scrambled eggs and feeder crickets
and he sure loves to snuggle!
I'm not yet sure if it's a boy or a girl...I know that male sparrows have a black "bib" while females don't, so it may take a while for that to show up.
If it's a boy I'll name him Petrie (like the little pterodactyl from Land Before Time)..
and if it's a girl then I'll name it Sophie (I always loved that name)
I'm so happy!!!
