For the second day now, this sparrow has been spending most of his time in my room on the window. There is a feeder with grain outside and inside.I like the sparrow, but it's getting colder and I can't close the window because the bird will freak out. Any ideas on how to solve this without kicking him out? I'm already in my winter clothes.
ever since i turned 30 i developed this strange interest in birds. i never paid much interest to them before but now i catch myself standing outside on streets just watching them. you know, just watching two crows interact. or a sparrow, sitting on a fence. i just like watching them, they're so fucking fascinating. fascinating animals. can't put my finger on it, i just like them. suddenly. in your case i'd just close the window so it doesn't get any ideas. it will just move closer and closer. put an end to that before it's too late and you get emotionally attached to a wild animal. that NEVER ends well. it can't end well. it won't.
>>5083030nothing ends well in life. I'm not expecting it to. I just want to keep my bird and not freeze my ass off, too.
>>5083021Do you realize that sparrows are prime candidates for psychopomps? you're lucky if you get out of this alive or sane
>>5083021Its going to poop everywhere
>>5083064>if you get out of this alive or saneI am very certainly not>>5083087he already has. I'm pondering using it to fertilize my plants.
The sparrow is constantly fluffed up. He's extremely round even when he comes back from flying outside. What causes this?
>>5083939they do that to keep warm. sometimes can be a sign of a sick bird but more likely he is just comfy and chillaxing in your house.

>>5083021Make a smaller window in your window so that you can close your window while leaving the window window open for the sparrow.Window.
>>5083030The more you start to learn about nature and identifying things, the more you will notice. It's an amazing feedback loop
>>5083021This happened in my house onceA bird somehow got stuck and becuase our house had a big tall roof in the living room it just chilled outside of any possible way for us to get it outIt got skinny after a week (despite us leaving food in bowls all over the house) but luckily it eventually flew out the door
Stuff the gap as much as you can, keep heating on, get more clothes, move more.
>>5084062I think he's growing fat. There's no way he can fluff up that much all the time, and he's also "fluffed up" right after he comes back from doing stuff outside. He's been sleeping and eating like 90% of the time. Also, he found his way onto a plant lamp which is warm, and now he sleeps on that lamp.I don't think he's sick because he's still pretty agile and not lethargic like they're supposed to become when sick, although he does seem to be a bit worse at flying than the normal-sized sparrows.>>5084067>>5084543I don't think I can make any modifications to the window while the borb is around, which he is like 70% of the time. I did manage to close it for the night once while he was sleeping, and since I wake up before it dawns, it didn't cause any trouble. After that, the weather got a bit warmer so we're doing fine in that regard.Now I'm worried about what will happen in the summer, when I would really prefer to open the netted window instead to keep the insects out.>>5084485In my case the bird is certainly not trapped, leaving whenever he likes and coming back the same. I still can't get him to drink inside, so at the very least he flies out to get water.
>>5084592You only exist to serve the bird now, this is your fate. Toil at night to increase its comfort, while it sleeps.
>>5084688Yea well he's not very tolerant of noise at night. I have to use headphones, otherwise he gets restless even from speakers at 5% volume
