Awe xx What food did you feed them??

Rosie Rawlley not many people understand the depth and how special those moments were..a really beautiful story.

Cuteness overloaded 😍😍

Thank you for your very generous comments, I am so pleased that you enjoyed watching it.

Thank you Kelly, they are very sweet to watch yet so venerable.

In summer, the pigeons are the first who wake me up, at 5 am 😀, because in the evening I put food outside of the window.... and the first to come, after them: the sparrows 😚😘😊

Me too!

@@MauriceBaker100 came across your video whilst researching where would a fledgling sparrow sleep for the night that cant fly high 😪 During this covid lockdown peering out into the garden noticed our colony of sparrows that I put hay out for as they are always curiously looking down into our tortoises run for somthing, I assumed its the hay! Yup it was, as they cleared it within a day after I layed some hay on to the floor of my dandelion lawn! I never weed the lawn so I have more dandelions than grass! Then this morning i noticed a fledgling that couldn't fly around like the others it spent all day in the garden amongst the over grown pot plants, it was coming out practicing to fly around but wasn't taking off with mum, it was still iseing its wings as arms to balance and climb up the pots, all day we watched it till dusk parents fed it all day tried to lure it up onto the fence or low roof but it just couldn't fly high still, I wanted to get him to give him shelter for the night, but googled and rspb says leave them and another site claims they spend 2 weeks on the ground, is this before flying! We hope he makes it through the night, as he was on the floor around all my messy pots, logs, bricks, and weeds, in long grass, I Haven't had time to mow and tidy my garden but the sparrows love it, Didn't know that sparrows eat dandelion leaf, Also the yellow dandelion flowers petals, I was so surprised, And they feed the dandelion petals to the fledgling! Where would he sleep and will its parents find him in the morning if he survive the night 😪

Thank you for your comments that are mush appreciated. I know that the town sparrow can sometimes look a bit drab and dishevelled but a male in the breeding season can be quite striking with its grey crown, bright chestnut head and brown back with its black markings.

I have hundreds in my long garden hedge, I have fed them for over twenty years so now they must be on many generations. I buy a sack of feed every month and I breed mealworms too... they are lucky sparrows and I love them , they come and gather round me when I bring the mealworms out. I also have one robin. he is nearly five years old I think. he too is beautiful x

@@BirdBath1 that's a good idea, thanks

Anything else you've been able to feed it?? I've found 2 which refuse to leave the youngest so I've had to take them all inside to keep safe from my cat. I'm not sure what I can give for them to eat

@@Sisi-sx6ub if they were fledglings meaning with feathers, really you should have left them were you see them... The mother and father would have been back and forth caring for them, Did you no that fledgling sparrows can stay on the ground for up to two weeks ? Once they leave the nest they don't actually return again! The adult sparrows take care if them, In the evening the parents tuck them up in a safe place till the next morning, In branches were they stay camoflaged and quite, They take cover from cats in plant pots during the day till the parent sparrows return with food. Parent sparrows teach them surviving skills somthing we can never teach them, I know it's hard to see them and leave them, but it is infact best for the sparrow baby to have their parents full care, If the baby has fallen from a nest and are (featherless) "pink" then yes you can try putting them back in their nest, if the nest is to high, make a nest from a small container, attach it close to the nest area in a safe place and the parents will come feed the baby, If they don't, then perhaps it's time to step in to help, Maybe giving them to a bird sanctuary would be best for the baby! I hope the ones you found survived. 🤞 P.s it is difficult but when you see fledglings keep the cats in just for a few days maximum a week or so, Till the fledglings are full feathers and stronger... They will eventually fly off with their parents, That's the best help you could have given to those babies, was by keeping the cats in the house. 🙀 And keeping your sanity baby sparrows need feeding every hour all day, They need mealworms, insects dandelion leaves and seeds. Their parent provide we go insane looking for them 😂 Every hour.

Thank you for your comments. I.m g;lad that you found it informative.

Can you please tell me how did you prepare food for the baby sparrow with rice ?

These sparrow fledgings act more calm than the ones in nyc, they usually flap their wings more, they annoy their parents more. Cute creatures tho

Thank you Khalif for your comments, I agree with your comments about the intelligence of sparrows as i am sure that some of their actions are instinctive but there is so much that they have to learn if they are to survive to an adult stage. My colony of sparrows that live in the ivy on the back of the house are a constant companion when I am out in the garden and I would miss their constant chattering if they were not there.

Maurice Baker , I greatly appreciate your positive reply. Indeed, how this tiny bird and orther animals behave ( act) for their survival and propagation reason is amazing. They are guided by inborn instinctive behavior, devine guidance. I was just trying to juxtapose the parental care and cooperation of these tiny bird couple whose total body wright equals few ounces with that of eight-hundred bounds of human or with that of eight-ton of elephant pair. One day I was watching a video where an elephan bull whose tusks may weigh thousand bounds hit very tiny calf with tusks to clear his way to mate the calf's nursing mom. And other bull caught another small calf lifted up and threw it mercilessly to few yards. A teenage human mom put her newborn baby in a plastic bag and threw it into dumpester, and another mom left her newborn baby at front door of a church. When I think of the instinctive behavior and activities of these birds , I say wow! They will never extinct. Human , from ancient Greek, philosophers and inventors, admired birds. I think, without them , human wouldn't be able to invent aircraft and aviaton system. Human observed how birds take off , fly, and glide up in the sky and invented airplanes. Human also observed how fish and whales sweam and invented ships and submarines. Even though physists and geologists said that dinosours were extinct because of huge astaroid of milions tons hit the eath. I think , they did not care of each other , they destroyed themselves , probably ate each other. Surely, the lasting existence of these tiny beautiful birds depends on how we, human, care and heed our /their environmental and ecological protection by reducing or eliminating land, air and water polution from poisonous , harmful , hazardous substences that threaten and endanger our/their health and existence. Recentlly, I have heard that the number of their main diets , insects, is declining because of human heedlessness of protecting our environment. I hope that these birds never be extinct. Thank you for ur video.

Amazing! Some years ago I heard some quick tapping on my door. I opened the door, nothing. From my car later I saw some birds were trying to eat the fake berries on my wreathe!

Well, if it helps, these guys are thriving in North America. In fact, I probably have a hand full of nests in my small yard alone, between an old clubhouse and the big old tree in my backyard. It's actually to the point where it's causing problems for our native birds.

@@piranhaplantX Hi really thats good to hear, how are they causing a problem with the other birds. Its interesting to know. Thank you 😊.

Thank you John for your kind comments

SeongYeon Lee I have a pet sparrow. We found her as a baby 1 year ago and now she is a full adult :)

SeongYeon Lee house sparrows are evil little bastards.

Scouts Honor 😢

@@ZeroMass U meanie.🥺

@@Penn.obsessed tell that to the baby birds they decapitate and then go do the same at the next nest they find. They are invasive and kill local birds. Same goes for starlings in north America..

Hard to be louder then them :D

I wish he would speak more clearly and louder.... even though it was a nice film, I enjoyed watching it, just hard to understand the script ....really love the film though.

@Tee Twetherlow he might be one of those asmr people

Thank you Stuart for your comments, I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

me too 😞 he left two days ago. I wasn't able to say goodbye. It feels like he's taken a bit of my heart with him. Hopefully he's doing fine outside.

Mine passed away today :(

Thank you for your comments. They will soon have to independent and feed themselves.

Maurice Baker Конечно, как все дети. Мы часто наблюдаем за воробьями в нашем парке. Это очень интересно.
