Nature Notes

Cath’s mum and dad have got a new pet. As well as Alfie the dog (their word, not mine), a parakeet and a rabbit, they now have a pet sparrow.

The sparrow has made its adopted home in the outside shed that has been converted into the rabbit’s hutch. Each morning the sparrow waits patiently for the door to be opened before flying off, but he returns every evening to his nest in the shed and gets locked in for the night.

A very sensible sparrow; the shed must be a whole lot warmer and drier than a nest up in the trees.
