Knock at the Door


A house sparrow discussing with its reflection about the loss of their habitation and livelihood thinking it was another bird! But the sparrow was actually knocking at the glass window constantly in a manner of fighting out the other. It sensed me that they are actually knocking at our doors to let them have their space but us insensitively denying their rights and given importance to our hum him. We can’t blame anybody to enjoy their comforts and benefits available at the globalization, but did we really gave importance to something travelled along with us or realized what we missed in excite, the thing that was overridden or overtaken to let it fade through the rear mirrors.  March 20 was World Sparrow Day! And House Sparrow is a species designed to mingle and sustain with people but the reality was we failed to live up to their simple needs rather concerned only our comfort, style and hi-speed telecoms. The Western Ghats, along the south west coast,  plays a pivotal role in preserving the tiny house sparrows whose company we enjoyed until 2k, where the transformation begin to descend the harmony of their voices from our lives esp. in cities. I always enjoy their presence whenever I visit Western Ghats as part of travel and the picture was shot on same.

Hello,

Cute sparrow and photo. They really are attracted to their reflections, could it be a possible rival? Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend.

A bird is able to see destination quickly. And this property makes it fly safely to destination.
The mirror confuses sparrow and its fight with its own reflection results in bleeding beak for the sparrow.
Nice capture of the sparrow.

I have seen funny videos of animals being frightened by their own reflection in the mirror. Some will fight it but others will be scared by it. Have a good new week!

This photo of the 2 birds perching on the grill is very creative and beautiful. It would easily score full marks in photo competitions because it was your perfect timing to capture the birds naturally.

I really do like the sparrows. I bet they are all over the world. I think there are three of four different kinds of them. I really like the color of the feathers of the one you are showing.
