Male House Sparrow

Love the sound of these guys in the yard, with their happy chortling. I put out chicken feathers from old pillows for them to use in their nests.

That a nice idea. Do you get them nesting closer in that way?

They have a few spots around the yard - an old birdhouse & under the eaves by the furnace pipe. They are very prolific, with several broods a year, but I just like to watch them gather the feathers and happily take them home. The starlings use them a lot too.
