Bird people

[hibbary]

So I just moved to Newport News from southern Illinois. The birds have found my feeders and I've seen all sorts. But one thing puzzles me. There are no (old world) sparrows. I have no seen a single sparrow. I was under the impression that house sparrows, like pigeons, were everywhere. There isn't a lot of agriculture going on here on the peninsula

I do live in suburbia :x The whole peninsula is suburbs, city, docks. It's been a few weeks and no sparrows. I'll have to look for them when I go to the more city area.

Yeah, I'd rather they didn't. Native species are preferred. Think I'll set up some bluebird boxes in the spring, see if I can attract any. So far it's been: titmice, doves, cardinals, chickadees, a Carolina wren, some gold finches. Pretty sweet bird action!

There are house sparrows all over the place out here. I'm in Southern California.

Oh my! Tigrin! You are still alive! Please, if you are not totally occupied, tell me what has been going on with you :3

Not much, I've been working as an animator on a video game for the past year which has sucked up a lot of my time. :) I still keep up with some things on the Internet (DeviantArt and Tumblr and Livejournal mostly) but I'm not as involved as I used to be. Which is kind of a bummer because I miss being part of a community.

Boy do I know how *that* is. I don't have any sort of industry job but I work for a couple of commercial websites, which, I suppose, amounts to about the same thing. And for me it's like: Work first; Homo sapiens later!

I, too, miss being a part of a 'community'. The really hilarious thing is, the best, at least the most welcoming and fun, community that I've ever been a part of is STILL TLKFAA. HA!!!!!
