Most mornings, in the summer, I make my breakfast, and have it on the patio. Most of the summer, a male sparrow, has been hanging around this bird house, going cheep, cheep. No female, just him, going cheep, cheep. Yesterday, I could hear him, but couldn’t see him. I got my little ladder, and probed the house, with my fingure.He came out of there like a shot. I was so surprised, I almost fell off the ladder. So the story is. This couple of sparrows, came to this neighborhood, to set up house keeping, and raise a familly. Got the house all ready, and the female went to the store, to get some bugs and stuff, and never came back. So the male bird, being a good mate, was waiting for his love to come back, all that time. What devotion. Quite sad, but it good to see, even birds have feelings.

Great picture of his house. Yes it is sad to hear him calling all the time and no mate answering. Makes one wonder what happenned
Poor lonely bird surely they don’t mate for life and he will find another mate next year.Cheers Portia
