Re: house sparrow

I think that's a really wonderful and rewarding thing to do. Well done! Nature gives so much back if we give something in the first place. I hope you can post some pictures of the box and it's residents. We would all enjoy that very much. Great stuff. WW

Re: house sparrow

I would not be on any web-site including this one if it was not for the cheeky sparrow,it is a bird that everyone accepted as "common" to the point where they were ignored even ostracised from houses and roosts they are such a cheery bird full of optimisem and hope
