    Something for the bird lovers here... :)

    I took a set of photos today of this cute little guy, I saw him (or her) from my office window and just couldn't resist... Just look at this little fluff ball:



    BTW, I have no idea what kind of bird it is, but I think it's looking still very young.

    Dorothy, are you sure it's a sparrow? They usually look different here, not so yellowish. But maybe it's because he's still a youngster. And yes, of course you can save it.

    I'm afraid I only differentiate bigs birds and small birds- but it looks like sparrow to me as well. He's so cute- and adorable pics they are

    What great pics.
    He reminds me of a girl posing for pictures but fussing to get her hair "just right". Then finally posing for the last shot.

    Like "ok, I'm ready! Oh, wait a minute!!!" (fixes feathers)
    "Ok, now I'm ready! Cheese!!!"
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Great pictures. I agree it does look like a young bird by the close up
    of it's head & chest. A lot of down feathers still present. Is the finch
    a relative of the sparrow?
