House Sparrow Fledgling
Passer domesticus (fledgling)
Fledgling house sparrows have left the nest but still make short, uncertain flights around shrubs, fences, gardens, and building edges. They are partly dependent on their parents while learning to peck seeds, crumbs, and small insects on their own. Their behaviour includes fluttering, hiding in cover, and giving begging calls when adults are nearby. A notable fact is that their dull brown plumage helps them blend into dry grass and urban ground cover.
