House Sparrows
This was a busy little flock in downtown Toronto, the seemed infatuated with some loose feathers, I’m not sure why as it in October!
House Sparrow

This house sparrow calls Home Depot home. The sparrows in Collingwood have learned how to activate the beam which opens the sliding doors for them to go in and out at will, pretty smart little birds. This one was sitting on a model shed chirping so loudly it’s echo was deafening in the loading area.
