Ah, springtime. All through the winter, we look forward to the sunny days of spring, the sweet smell of flowers blossoming and sometimes romance is in the air as well. It seems our Georgina found a mate and brought one of her babies into the store to meet us. While the baby chirped loudly and fluttered and flapped her little wings next to her mama, Georgina fed her baby peanuts -- directly into her open mouth. What an awesome sight and amazing aspect to this story that she felt so trusting and comfortable with us that she brought in one of her new offspring. They both flew up to the soffit of the store and Georgina left her baby with us for the next several hours. The baby chirped loudly looking for mama all day. She hadn't yet learned how to exit the store. Oh my goodness. What do we do now? Fortunately, Georgina returned towards the evening and they both flew off across the street to Millennium Park.
Now that you've read this post, you know how 3 turned into 23. Word got out through the sparrow community about our store and now Precious Possessions hosts a flock of both male and female sparrows. Initially, the males were very hesitant to come in and they waited perched outside our door cocking their little heads while waiting for the girls. By the way, the males have different markings than the girls. They're very handsome and very vocal -- in fact, the boys sing beautifully and serenade the female sparrows. We are lucky enough to enjoy their beautiful love songs on many occasions. They serenade us and our guests.
Come back next week to find out about the most famous wall in the city of Chicago.
