One day I was in the sit out fronting the kitchen, I was reading with music playing softly. This place has thick plants on two sides that act as screens. I leaned my head against the back of the chair and got the shock of my life. My hair begun being tugged viciously. I pulled away and made to rise.Two sparrows started up. They had silently perched on the back of the chair and imagining my hair as material to build their nests, had tried to tug out tufts! Don't know who was more shocked, the sparrows or I. But instead of flying off, the two birds sat on the window sill and scolded me, soon joined by a few more. I left the space to them and watched from a safe distance. The sparrows hopped in, pecking on the ground for grains.
