A playful and ambitious sparrow

Hi friends,

A few days ago I was having lunch in the garden of the restaurant of the Al-Andalus hotel in Seville after a day of work.

It was a sunny day and in this garden because there are many trees, bushes and some fountains, it is common to find sparrows fluttering around the garden.

Because it was already late and I felt like taking a walk around the beautiful city of Seville, I ordered some sandwiches and some fries to eat.

At that moment, a cheeky sparrow approached me singing and perched on the railing next to the table.

He sang for a few seconds until he flew off and returned to the second rail to get my attention even more.

A few seconds later, losing all fear, it perched on top of the table where I was eating, I think with the intention of stealing a potato from me.

So I placed a piece of potato on my laptop and it quickly flew towards the piece of potato to quickly fly away, giving me time to take a single photograph.

It didn't take long for him to eat it and return to the table. So I placed another piece of potato on it and this time I was able to take three photos with my iPhone.

The first one you can see how she opens her wings to get closer to her treasure.

The second, as a whirlwind of feathers with the potato in its mouth, begins the flight.

The third is a snapshot of it taking off to enjoy its booty.

Unfortunately, one of the waiters called my attention and told me not to feed the birds in the garden to avoid pigeons and other birds filling the place with the risk of droppings falling on other diners.

So much for my story with my friend Jack the sparrow.

Greetings.
