The House Sparrow families have been visiting the garden over the last few days, scooping up the food we’d put out, as well as taking a drink from the bird bath. But one sparrow had other ideas:
Sitting in the ornamental Quince, he decided to sample one of the petals!
I’m not sure if it was the moisture on the petal that attracted his attention, or if he really thought it would be tasty, but after dropping that petal on the ground, he didn’t try picking any others off.
