Ours are skittish and timid, and will never come to the hand, no matter how many times they have seen you. English robins delight me to no end.<br /><br />I do have a theory regarding the high number of House Sparrows in most of our towns (they've all but vanished in the largest cities, though - they can be found in parks, but not in the streets). Streets are very dirty, buildings are old and poorly built, and they have plenty to eat and lots of places to nest in.Tinúvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-55981486984821110432015-12-20T19:49:59.707+00:002015-12-20T19:49:59.707+00:00I envy you having House Sparrows.

They jump from tree to tree until I stop and give them the goods. Up until a week ago or so they didn't pay me much mind, but now they are getting really hungry and thus bold. They need that little extra help, poor things.Tinúvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
