what does one do to cope with no bird screaming for attention? you terribly draw the bird.

#that bird has committed crimes #like theft #theft of my heart #what a silly bird #now they can be silly with their sparrow friends #welcome to fatherhood eggy

[jack-sparrows-eggy]

Jack's latest act of malice in order to get my attention:

#let me watch youtube silly bird #i am giving you attention #welcome to fatherhood eggy

[jack-sparrows-eggy]

Jack's reminding me to use full arm movements while drawing (i think they were just jealous of my pen 😭)

JACK IS IN MY SLEEVE. JACK SPARROW GET OUT OF MY SLEEVE

#my sweater! 😂😂😂 i guess it is warm and dark in there #welcome to fatherhood eggy

[jack-sparrows-eggy]

ive taken Jack outside to let them make the decision on whether or not they would like to stay free! i think they will, but theyre being very noisy 😂

#little baby is all grown up 🥺 #im not crying you are 😭 #welcome to fatherhood eggy #i think theyre happy? i assume theyre getting to know all the other sparrows #i hope the other sparrows teach them how to bird

[jack-sparrows-eggy]

Hey, if you've already released your sparrow unfortunately he does not have a very good chance of surviving on his own seeing as how he was hand reared. If you live anywhere they are invasive like the US it is also a crime to release.

Ya boy committed a crime ✌️😗 damn i knew sparrows were hated, but i didn't know their existence was illegal 👁️👁️

also i wouldn't worry too much about him not surviving, the sparrows around here are uncharacteristically kind and compassionate (something i saw in Jack too) and took Jack into their flock. i have seen them all flying around together, so Jack simply joined the flock. I assume they are teaching him how to bird.

in my last ask that i answered, i mentioned a robin nest of which had babies in it this year. well, on the same deck a bit away is a sparrow nest!

Usually Sparrows are destructive and destroy nearby nests for greater chance at survival, but theyve both been raising babies in peace for a while now! I would know, i keep a close eye on all the nests that have babies in them during spring. (in case i need to put fallen babies back in their nest)

And usually Sparrows cause property damage. but the sparrows around here find it much more fun to play in bushes and our piles of sticks we have set up!

the sparrows here are only noisy and adorable. This is most likely because they have plentiful access to food and supplies (i live in a more rural area). Here, they don't have to fight for food, they just have to survive the hawks and owls.

I feel like im obligated to say sorry or something for committing that crime, but it wouldn't feel right because Jack Sparrow is a happy free bird that is mingling with his found flock-family (of which hasn't been hurting the nearby crops, homes, or ecosystem because we keep them well maintained: they have large stick piles and bushes to mess with, the food here is already plentiful without the bird feeder im about to buy, and they arent overpopulating or being invasive).

The average Sparrow population may be considered pests, but the sparrows around here definitely aren't like that. they're just noisy, dramatic, and playful. they fit into the ecosystem without damaging it.

#i do understand your concern and i understand if you would be skeptical about everything i just said #bc im not an expert. but i do know how to pay attention to the nature around me. and the ecosystem around here is flourishing and stable #Jack is now part of that ecosystem and he's doing just fine #if he was starving or struggling he would have come back to me #just like how he came out from underneath my bed when he got hungry once #he may have been hand raised but he still has bird instincts and a pull towards the freedom of outside #you and this country dont have to worry about a single thing. this local ecosystem has the nicest sparrows. #they may be sassy and dramatic birds but they fit in just fine #the sparrows around here plus Jack are the reason Sparrows are my favorite bird #i hope this helped clear up some stuff! sorry for how long it is! #welcome to fatherhood eggy

Good morning from Jack Sparrow! of course they made it though the night!

can't say the same about me, i barely let myself sleep and spent the night worrying over if they needed food 😂 it pretty much went like this every time:

me: do they need to eat at night? oh goodness

*checks on Jack*

me: Jack Jack are you hungry?

Jack: ᵈᵃᵈ ᵍᵒ ᵇᵃᶜᵏ ᵗᵒ ˢˡᵉᵉᵖ ᶦᵐ ᶠᶦⁿᵉ 😑

#loving the patience jack has with their adoptive father #welcome to fatherhood eggy

[jack-sparrows-eggy]

Okay, so here's a bit more of an update besides me screaming about how i saw Jack 😂:

Jack is doing good! he's a little behind on learning how to bird because he was raised by a soft hearted human, but the other birds don't seem to mind teaching him and caring for him.

The main sparrow i see with Jack is a male sparrow that was super anxious to meet him when i set him free a couple days ago. He was feeding Jack and teaching Jack how to eat on his own! I think these two adopted eachother as parent and child 🤭

overall, Jack is happy and well taken care of out there! he's got his new found family and they welcomed him with open wings. It is unbelievably wholesome to see all these birds taking Jack in as their own and giving him the same amount of love and attention i gave him (if not more!). He was doing his happy wiggles that he does when he eats 😭💕💕💕

I couldn't be more proud of captain Jack Sparrow 🥺💕💕💕

#when i tell you that male sparrow was excited i mean HE WAS EXCITED #he was hopping around high above and screaming #i was scared that it was aggression but when jack flew over to him the two checked eachother out and the flew away together #but to know that these sparrows love Jack means so much #bird seed for them! bird seed for them for one thousand years! #welcome to fatherhood eggy

Nothing is funnier than watching Jack Jack disappear into their dark cave of blankets like some mysterious cryptid after they're done cuddling with me

#welcome to fatherhood eggy

[anonymous-eggy]

Me: okay you rest in your box, I'll keep you with me while i cook alright? I'll be right beside you, no worries.

*tries to put Jack down*

Jack: NO. NO FATHER. PLEASE DONT DO THIS TO ME HOW COULD YOU PLEASE I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME

bonus: Jack in their nest (dont worry, i cozy them up more when they're not being photographed 😂)

#i love my dramatic child #bud im literally carrying your box calm down i cant carry you anywhere and you cant stand on my shoulder yet #but when you can i will let you #so loud and dramatic 💞💞💞 #welcome to fatherhood eggy

[jack-sparrows-eggy]
