The
Chipping Sparrow is a small native bird that is a member of the
Sparrow family. It eats weed seeds and insects and typically
lines its tiny nest with animal hair. Nestling Chipping Sparrows
have an insistent (and constant) food begging call! Adults are
fairly tame and tolerant of humans. They have been known to sing
at night.
This nestling was brought to us when the nest was disturbed
by a Crow. It thrived and was ultimately released back to the
wild. |
