My favourite bird is the sparrow. The sparrow is a very common bird. It is to be seen anywhere and everywhere, where human beings live.

The sparrow is small in size. It has dark brown wings. The underside of its body is lighter in colour. It has small beady eyes and a small beak.

It is a busy and active bird. It wakes up early in the morning. It twitters all the time. Its cheerful twittering wakes up people from their sleep in the mornings. Many sparrows come and sit on my window sill every morning. They twitter so loudly that it is impossible for us to continue sleeping. We have to wake up, open our balcony door and throw some grains to them. Then they hop about and merrily peck at the foodgrains.

The sparrow is a friendly bird. It likes the company of human beings. It is always to be seen close to people's houses. It makes friends very easily. Once it knows . that you will not hurt it, it hops right inside your house and flies about all over the f place. If you get into the habit of feeding  sparrows, they hop into your room to  remind you that they are hungry: They are quite intelligent. They notice in which I container you store your foodgrains. If you are busy they will fly in and help I themselves to the grain, if the container is open.

As birds are such friendly creatures, I wish more and more people would make friends with them, and be kind to them.
