Mr. & Mrs.

 Every spring, a male and female

House Sparrow

take up residence in this beautiful birdhouse made from recycled materials.

I always wonder if it is the same 2 birds.

This is a picture of the birdhouse when I first received it.

It was a birthday present from the hubs.

 

This is the male, gathering feathers for the nest.

A very familiar bird across North America because of its affinity to people.

Here is the female on top of the house, the male close by to the right.

They are forever aware of their surroundings.

Here's the Mrs again, she does not come out of her too often.

and Mr. sitting on top of the birdhouse.

                                                          The birdhouse came with this authenticity card.

He jumps down occasionally, but never seems to fly off!

The House Sparrow is a very common sparrow, rarely seen far from homes and farms.

Often tame where it is regularly fed.

Sexes are dissimilar.

Sparrows are so often overlooked because they are not colorful and don't stand out.

But they have a beautiful feather pattern, with lots of gray, black and brown.

I'm know we have eggs and we will be seeing babies soon!
