    Not a native bird but I like sparrows. They are so tiny and so brave.

    For song I love blackbirds aka thrushes. They sing around sunset and it’s so lovely.

      Sparrows are very cute. They are also quite clever. I once watched one at Southbank that had worked out exactly where to fly in front of the sensor to activate the doors into the food court.

        now I like them even more 🙂

        I’ve been feeding the birds on my balcony , a few sparrows will eat from my hand, one will hop on my arm or shoulder

        and now the sparrows are back other birds have come back too, some wrens who like to hang with the sparrows , honey eaters, wattle birds, a few mynahs, currawongs, pigeons and doves

        a whole eco system is back 🙂

        and yeah. I’m feeding them, this is not the same as going to a pristine forest and feeding the local wildlife, this is a highly artificial environment and many are introduced birds , in a way they need humans
