We also have a bird bath on the roof (past 2yrs), that takes care of their water needs and my mum feeds the birds grains as well...so after the crows leave they arrive!
We had the opportunity to observe them closely as the Petrea volubilis creeper grew outside one of the bedroom windows in which they nested, sparrows have been there as long as i can remember |
