Sparrows pay little mind to table manners, such as politely wiping the seed hulls off their beaks as they feed. I really should install a heated bird bath so they can wash their faces from time to time. That is a lot of indulgence for such a lowly and common species, but perhaps it would attract more colorful birds to my back yard in the winter.
