Bird Gard Electronic Bird Repeller – Woodpeckers and House Sparrows, Covers 1 & 1/2 Acre

I saw a sparrow, like a bird in Minnesota at my feeder. Was very patch of gold on the head and face, but otherwise completely sparrowish. Do sparrows normally have this color and I never noticed? This is a model coupling alone? In any case, it was rather bright gold, comparable to a gold finch, but only on his head. In search of a decent website that show pictures. We have done research that were full of people selling stuff.

Hi there, I recently found two baby sparrows abandoned and they’re just about 6 days old each. . . . what do i feed them? i have been seeing the same two struggling on the ground for the past day and my dog almost got ahold of one so i took them inside, one cherps for food and opens it’s mouth (at the moment im feeding it milk mixed with bread) and the other looks sick it has trouble keeping it’s head up and flaps it’s wings around as if it’s having a seisure. how do i care for them, oh and ones eyes are opened and the other isn’t but i think they’re both of the same age. PLEASE HELP!
i the sick one just died a few min i took it in the house. . . the other is fine. . and i found a wen sight that tells me what to feed them and give them to drink i am hand feeding at the moment every 45 min. . . .
ohh i had no idea then ill put them back out side. . .
by the way the bird was sick before i brought it inside
I just wanted to let every one who has read this question that i relesed the two birds and right away the momma came to them
