WORLD SPARROW DAY 2014 CELEBRATIONS BY FBF CLUB

Sparrow sketch by Steve and Suvarna-Ridhi













MORNING TWEETS

On our little gate,                                         
It looked like the Sun was rising late.
Here come our little mates,
Breakfast is served on their plates.



They fly happily in the sky,
When I see them come down they feel very shy.
The Passer Domesticus is ubiquitous,

Pecking away at the Iceberg Lettuce.

INTRODUCTION


Dear Friends,
It gives us immense pleasure to start a space for our die-hard, avid bird lover daughter, Zerah. You are most welcome to share your valuable observations and inputs on birds that you see and hear of in your neighborhood or from your travels. Looking forward for a vibrant tete-e-tete with the FBF (Feathered Biped Friends) Club.

Thank you,
Francis & Shirley 

BonJour Readers,
I’m thrilled to bits about my new zone from which I can be in touch with the rest of the world. Well, let me introduce the FBC Club members. We are:


Mukul, Zerah (me)Steve, Khushi and Sera.

We are all neighborhood kids and live in a birds' paradise which is a beautiful hamlet called Titan Township in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. We are truly blessed to be amidst Golden Orioles, Coucals, Kingfishers, Herons, Egrets, Sunbirds, Parrots, Cuckoos, Crows, Pigeons, Swifts, Tits, Great Indian Pitta, Owls, Mynahs, Coppersmiths, Red-vented Bulbuls, Hoopoes, Tailor birds, Weaver birds, Woodpeckers, Sparrows and their cousins.

I thank my parents and my anna (elder brother) Pheroze, who is our blogging guide and mentor for gifting me the best resources like Salim Ali's book, Camera, Binoculars, stamps and so many things.

FBFC will be posting articles, snaps, and such stuff soon. Looking forward to receiving contributions from well wishers and bird lovers in the form of real stories, bird sightings, photographs and related interesting stuff.

Please abide by these essential rules:
  • Contributions should not violate any copyright laws; post own original stuff only.
  • Contributions are all copyright-free and readers may use them as they wish
  • The blogger has the right to accept or not to accept contributions
Bye,
Love,
Zerah.
