Pecole Posted April 20, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 20, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) These images were not taken outside, neither are they of high quality, but I believe they can be of interest for nature lovers. When young sparrows fall from nest before they are able to fly, their survival chances are rather low. When my daughter, then 14, found two "brothers" in our garden on a May morning, she decided to try to save them. She started spending a fair amount of time feeding them with bread moistened with milk, then arranged a little corner in her room for them to rest. Surprisingly enough, within two days, the sparrows were completely "tamed" and were looking at my daughter like if she were their mother. Welcome, dear visitor!

I'll submit your remark to my daughter tonight, Stuny. And I deny any responsibility in any possible consequence for you.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted April 25, 2015 Share #6 Posted April 25, 2015 A sweet story! Of course you realise you have these little darlings as hangers-on for life and sparrows are very long lived. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pecole Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted April 26, 2015 A sweet story! Of course you realise you have these little darlings as hangers-on for life and sparrows are very long lived. My daughter's ones only stayed for about three months, then flew away to their own lives. It seems that one came back for a few days some months later, since he was the only one to remain unafraid on the garden table where we used to leave the breakfast's "crumbs", when we approached.
