Last year I had posted about sparrows at our home, which you can read it here
This year, we had two great days living with little sparrow at our home. It happened a month back.
One morning, we saw the little sparrow at floor. As usual we thought , it must be dead, as it had fell down from nearly seven to eight feet height, but luckily it was alive. Also , the bird was able to walk and run.
Dhanesh and Deepak were most happy to see it. We tried to give water to bird and try to feed something, but bird did not accept to open the mouth.
After some time, the parent birds came. It started to chirp and fly searching for the missing little one. We were thinking that bird would not identify the little one on floor, but these days sparrows are clever. It found the little one running on floor and started to feed it. The parent birds were initially scared of us, but got courage to remain there, as we are not harming them. Day time passed on , and danger is the night time, as cats visit the balcony. So we placed the little bird on a packing box , preparing a bed for it with torn news paper. Kept it on a height where cat's can't reach.
Parent bird
Morning we took it out and put that back in floor. Now the bird started to walk and run much better. It had a nice time walking around the balcony.
Around afternoon, the parent bird, came inside our house and chirped to called us. We went out to balcony and saw that little bird was missing. Clever bird, either it thought we took little one somewhere or wanted to help it in finding the small bird.
We searched and found the little one near another balcony and brought it back to floor. Again the bird started to run and move around the places. Since the passage had drainage holes. we kept the bird in packing box. When the parent bird come and give sound, we would take the little one out of box and then parent bird would feed the little one.
once the feeding is over, we would put it back to box. We also gave time to little one for flying. By evening it started to fly a height of a step in a staircase.
same procedure followed for night time as previous day.

Next day, the little one wanted to go out of house as it found that parent birds are going out after feeding. We had to watch it frequently to bring it back to home and keep it in box. In the evening, we had placed bird out of box for feeding and after some time, when I came out to put it in box, it was missing. The little one was taken out of home by the parents. we could see the parent birds chirping in nearby abandoned place where human movement is not there.
Dhanesh and Deepak were upset to see little bird missing, but we consoled them saying, it has gone with parents, then only it will learn to survive and learn flying.
