Urban Nature Pictures day 10

For the second time in a couple months, an unknown person has left a box of pastries on the sidewalk in front of where I live. House sparrows are enjoying the empty calories.

I thought that maybe the pastries were intended for humans, but there aren't really any homeless people wandering my street, nor are there any nearby bakeries. it is a bit of a mystery.

The European starling is in the US because of the Shakespeare fans. The sparrows are here just because the Brits liked having them about, and because they thought they might control farm pests (they don't).
