Amy and I were sitting outside yesterday afternoon and happened to see this little sparrow working so hard to attract a mate. He would sit atop the bird house, which was made to accommodate the smaller nuthatch, and sing his heart out. Then he’d enter the birdhouse, only to have, a few seconds later, one heck of a time wriggling back out.
By late afternoon he’d given up and disappeared. Probably discouraged-and exhausted too, I’d imagine.
I hope he’ll be luckier in love today.
Happy Monday! And don’t work too hard.
...most definitely a lover-boy!
ReplyDeletefun! isn't that just like a male .. showing off for the ladies ♥
ReplyDeleteDawn-most definitely! I hope he finds the right lady bird today:)
ReplyDeleteLisa-exactly! He should be thankful there was no girlfriend around to see him struggle to get himself out of that tiny nuthatch house:)
Ha ha, maybe it's time to pick up a house with a larger door? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's the least I can do Lisa! He was back out there today, all puffed up and fluttering his wings while he sang! He certainly gets an A for effort!
ReplyDeleteWe have such a sweet racket of birds outside, including a family of mockingbirds that keep me entertained. This has def. been one of my favorite things since we moved to a quieter way of life.
ReplyDeleteI love that Tina-a sweet racket! So true, and it's one of my favorite things about living in a more rural setting too:)
ReplyDeleteVery cute. My favorite part is the title :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that he was:) I hope he finds a nice wife some day:)
