Sparrows on the Bird Bath
We have a lively collection of sparrows here. They make
their home in one of our bushes on the side of our house and several times a
day visit the bird bath in back. They drink and bathe and fight and fly back
and forth until all their needs are satisfied.
I’ve counted as many as a dozen sparrows on the bath at the
same time. They flapped on and off in a flutter of feathers. When there was
room, it looked as if one of them was swimming across the water!
Sparrows may be small but they have a lot of energy.
Sometimes I see them having a lively conversation on the slanty part of our
roof above their bush. They have been known to yell at me as I pull my car onto
the driveway and disturb their private together time.
It’s interesting to observe nature’s creatures. We can see
relationships, both friendly and not. We can watch them solve problems and
sometimes create them. There are many behaviors that are reminders of our own people
interactions. I wonder if they watch us and think the same things.
Lots to know about house sparrows:

You are so right about animals' relatiodhips. From elephants' families to birds to ant colonies they communicate to and care for each other. Are they want us as we watch them???
ReplyDeleteYou're so right! We all have our own interactions within our species and with others.
