So what is this something about sparrows? I just found a quote that moved me so profoundly that I have sparrows on the brain. Even bought a sparrow ring today. Will take some photos later and share.

Here's the quote from Henry David Thoreau - “I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.”

This should tell you a lot about my love for animals. What a gift they are.
