"Are you going to give us something or not? We're waiting"...this is how they keep hopping on the balcony rail, the antenna, and then come flying to their canteen, checking again and again....is the rice there or not. Of course, they do it fifty times a day! If they see me close to the window, they get thrilled...expectation is in the air...and 10-15 of them give it a round......to no avail, though. I feed them in the morning and, occasionally, when they are begging too much, I might give them a snack in the afternoon.I thought they might feel attracted by the red amaryllis flowers....but that was wishful thinking, they only think food.

I always enjoy reading and looking through your blog. You give us a vivid sense of your days. And a great shot of a curious bird.

I like the composition of their silhouettes and your excellent commentary, Gabriela.

Very lovely! I think late winter is the most difficult time for them, because there is not much food available. Our birds (and squirrels!) are also constantly searching for hazel- and other nuts we give to them.

I like sparrows, these small and unpretentious birds. The one on your photo is captured nicely, Gabriela.

Great silhouettes, almost making these guys-of-the-street VIB's (Very Important Birds) :). Do you think that street gang boys will be attracted by red Amaryllis?

You know how I love our Sparrows here, so you know I love yours too. I've never tried giving them rice, though - only bird seed. Do yours sing a Japanese melody? <grin>
