ABC WEDNESDAY--"S" is for "Save the Sparrows"


The population of Belgrade's mascot, the sparrow, has been declining, due to too many pigeons and crows, which overpower the little guys in a struggle for food.

Recently in Tasmajdan Park these sparrow houses were placed in several trees.  At least the sparrows won't have to hustle for housing; tiny holes!

See other S-es on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.

Nice to see an effort made to save the sparrows. Whatever eats pigeons and crows must be gone.

Very nice. We have one little sparrow house in our back yard. But I think the cardinals and crows intimidate them..

I've even had sparrows nest under the eaves of our house. It was a great education for our daughters when they were young, especially with the baby birds.

The decline seems to be worldwide, very strange.

Ici aussi, c'est tellement triste mais les abeilles sont les plus touchées par le déclin.
