Had one in my shed, told it to steal from the rich...

My mother and wife have both had them eating from their hands but we decided it was making the birds too familiar and at more risk from the neighbours' cats

 

Currently have a female blackbird coming within a couple of feet to collect dried meal-worms (she eats a couple and then takes a beakful to the nest, must be second brood)

Had a jackdaw trapped in our fireplace a few months ago. Big up close!

 

Managed to catch it and encourage it outside wearing welding gauntlets.

 

(I was wearing the gauntlets, not the jackdaw...)

 

Long time ago a little owl fell down into the inglenook of an empty house on the farm I was working. I saw it sitting quietly on the hearth so went in picked it up whence it bit me and flew out the door.

Once properly seasoned, yes, a sparrow will burn nicely.

Surely you should season after it is cooked?
