Postcard sketch

Creative today is a quickie because I want  to get back to my writing.
I watched the sparrows each time I woke up yesterday.
Two main behaviours I noticed.

There is one pair of sparrows who are definitely husband and wife.
He feeds himself from the fat balls from one wooden perch, and there is another wooden perch on the other side of the feeder.
Wife come along, lands on his back with a thump, and knocks him off this perch. But she doesn't come back to the feeder once she has knocked him off. This is the pencil illustration.

Second set of sparrows. These are a threesome. One female and two males. These have been a tight knit group since last summer. And they have always stayed together in this grouping. They fly together, they feed together. The female sits on one wooden perch (I have a criss-cross of two sticks at the bottom of each feeder, and in this way four sparrows can feed together at one time, and they do), and the two male sparrows feed from the fat balls, perched on the other two sticks, but the female has never fed herself. She sits between the two males who have been alternately feeding the female from the fatballs. And this was all last year. This year, it is as if the two males are fed up with her, and send her packing when she is asking them for food. Normally they take a piece of fatball and feed it to her open mouth. So, the males knock her off the perch now, and she flies into the air. But comes immediately back down again swooping to whichever bird has a piece of fatball in his mouth, takes it from him in mid flight, and then continues flying in a curve back upwards. She carries on doing this. She is very accurate in stealing the food from the male bird's mouth mid flight. Yet they are still flying around in a threesome.

Go figure...
I can't...
