Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | Once, when I was in school, during the summer vacations, I had taken care of a sparrow's youngling as it had fallen from one of the nests. Since it seemed abandoned, I had taken it home. I used to feed it, and take it out with me. And later on, train it to fly inside my house as it grew. Then one day when I had thought that it had learned to fly well I took it out and it flew away. I had painted its tail red to identify it later on. But I never found it again. |
