Italian Sparrow Fledgling
Passer italiae (fledgling)
Fledgling Italian Sparrows have left the nest but often stay close to cover in hedges, roof edges, gardens, and farmyards while their parents continue to feed them. They make short, awkward flights and practice hopping, pecking, and balancing as their flight muscles strengthen. Their diet begins shifting toward seeds and small invertebrates, and their duller juvenile plumage helps them blend into dry grass, soil, and urban stonework.
