| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | This may not be relevant here, but in July last year during a short visit to Montreal, Canada to attend a biodiversity meeting I was surprised to not see or hear a single bird since my arrival and the meeting days; so took an early morning walk on the last day. Was pleasantly surprised to see House Sparrows. What was interesting was the birds would hop onto a weed, bringing it down to eat the seeds on it. They would then hop off and the weed would spring erect again! Almost all were females. One group (where there was a male) was having a sand-bath. Took some pictures so am now able to share! Beautiful city though! |
