The noisy sparrow

This sparrow spent almost all of yesterday tweeting while perched on the gutter:

The only times when he quietened down before dusk were when a hawk flew over the house; other than on those occasions, he tweeted all day. He tweeted some more this morning but I have not heard him since. I wonder what he was tweeting to...his mother or a mate?

  1. Beautiful sparrow. Probably his mother or a mate... they seem to get lonely (we get them too).

    1. I'm pretty sure he was calling another bird.

  2. Sounds like a baby...

    1. Possibly, although my brother didn't think this sparrow looked as though it had recently fledged.
