It’s a female house sparrow. I wouldn’t want my cats to kill anything. I wouldn’t wish death on any bird on my property.

@graceylou Well the euro house sparrow is invasive & has decimated our native bluebird population along with habitat loss. So I try & destroy them as eggs along with the nest, that my bluebirds may thrive. The euros will be on their 2nd brood of 4 to 6 hatchlings before the bluebirds even get here on their migration. The euros will also murder the baby bluebirds & invade the nest just as Cortez invaded our native peoples land with terrible consequences. I know you love animal life & I understand your sensitivity. Nature is cruel & invasive species are expanding due to climate change & are more of a threat now than when we had winters. May all your blues be birds. =0}

@Countrywoman Humans are the most invasive species in my opinion. We ought to do something about them (us).

Cute pics!!!! Thanks.

Thank you.

The bird wasn’t in the laundry room until this afternoon or evening. I’d been in the laundry room earlier. With this extreme cold I didn’t keep any doors open to the outside. All my cats and dogs are indoor because I don’t want them to go after wild life. Sometimes mice get in and when the cats get them I take the mice from them. Some I manage to rescue alive.

There’s still no word on the puppy. I hope she manages to find a shelter somewhere.

@graceylou Me, too! If she's in a snowbank...it might keep her alive. Think of Eskimos and their sled dogs...in snow ''caves.'' I'm sorry about your week....sucks!

@LucyLoohoo Many people have barns, shelters, and outbuildings. Mat she finds one to hide in.

@graceylou Holding a good thought for any animal in trouble! In addition to our ice/snow storms...in Australia, it's so hot that pavement is melting.

So fluffy. Thank you.
