Happy World Sparrow day, everyone!

According to Wikipedia, World Sparrow Day is designated to raise awareness of the plight of the House Sparrow (which is in decline in their native habitat in Europe), and other birds common to urban environments and the threats to their populations. It is observed on March 20 each year.

If you’re interested, there’s even a website dedicated to World Sparrow Day!
