These birds are selfish: I break up a pecan -a nut- to feed them, the small, brownish sparrows. They taste a few pieces, but they'd rather not eat.
I watch them snatch food out of their fellow sparrows' beaks rather then indulge in the crumbs freely given to them. Another few stretch out their wings and chirp at a the bigger black birds. Not having seen this type of behavior before, I was even more fascinated to see them gladly place their morsels in the sparrows' open beaks!
What a curious lot.
Now they seem to be watching me.
