Hey, I remember it from the first time; I'll just show Liam around and fix him up with Hustle lessons and a lime green leisure suit. We'll be fine!!

It's an apartment sparrow. Can't afford a house :D
Starting a NEW gallery of my better bird shots. Due to flickr changes I felt it was a good time to explore elsewhere for future postings:
