I'm a bit late on this one, since the blossoms in this tree are all but gone. The sparrow is the mascot of Belgrade, and this little fellow looks quite proud and happy among these flowers.
A legend linked to this small bird says that during the Ottoman siege
of Belgrade in the 15th century a sparrow was found shot in the heart
with two arrows. Since then, it has been said that Belgrade is as
indestructible as the sparrow. The bird was chosen as the symbol of Belgrade because it is small but
capable of soaring to great heights, and thus stands for the Belgrade
spirit.
However, in recent years, Belgrade's sparrow population
has dropped dramatically.
