Baby sparrow reunites with mummy

A couple of days ago, Kurt found a baby sparrow, fully feathered, fluttering helplessly around near the bench at the outdoor tap. He put the little thing into a cage with some water to keep it safe. Mummy sparrow came the next day to feed her baby a few times, but we weren't sure if we should let baby out yet. Anxious to supplement baby's diet as mummy couldn't visit often enough, we gave it a fly or two, but it wasn't keen on the flies offered.. It looked at me mutely and solemnly, as if asking What's this? Yesterday we let baby out to test its flying skills because mummy sparrow had been flitting back and forth outside the porch waiting for her baby. When baby flew out, Mummy met it straightaway with a tasty morsel in her mouth which it gratefully took. Then off they flew together!
