Somehow this sparrow got it in his head that he must have a piece of poly string that I used to hold my backyard "studio" together. Or, he simply wants to tear down my studio ...<shrug>
In any event, he showed up early yesterday morning and started pulling the knot apart. It was dark and I did not have the right lens on the right body so I could not get a decent picture to show (but would be enough for use as "evidence"). He did not get very far with the tough knot/string.
Today he came back *FOUR* times for the same purpose (even brought a friend on two of those occasions. However, the friend was more interested in the seeds on the deck). I was ready this time with my camera. Here are some photographic evidence of the act:
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5
#6
#7
#8
Eventually the determined thief/vandal did get away with a piece of string about 1 inch long ... All of that work over 2 days for that much!
(Seriously, can someone explain this behavior? Does this guy need some materials to build a nest?)
Thanks for viewing.
