Dad house sparrow took on the job of feeding this little one. While I'm not happy at the thought of feeding these sparrows, I do think they're cute.

Hey, my feelings are once you decide to feed the birds, you can't discriminate as to what bird you are feeding ;)

A great moment you've captured here Vicki. Beautiful detail.
 
The hungry must be fed, whatever species they are...A lovely intimate moment really well captured Vicki.

Why unhappy about feeding sparrows? They do eat pests, you know. I've seen them cleaning the aphids off a tree downtown. And they're quite photogenic no matter how common and brown - as this photo shows. |=)|
 
Never feel bad about feeding house sparrows, super wee birds. Superb, sweet image Vicki.
 
Why ever you feel that way, I can't fathom. Hardly any sparrows here, so no chance of feeding them.

This is a terrific behavior action shot & wonderful to see, Vicki!! tfs.
