Birds have and amazing way of communicating and coordinating. I arrived home to my parking space on the grass across form our house to see the grass alive with house sparrows pecking at the soil. "What were they after?" I wondered It was freshly mown and they may have been more able to reach for bugs and worms. Maybe they were collecting seeds from the goldenrod and mugwort in the garden.
If we used lots of fertilizers and pesticides on our lawn there would be no such sight. Birds will avoid the perfectly groomed lawn where all the fauna they need to survive on (grubs, worms, insects) have been killed by chemicals. As it is that is what the birds do for your lawn naturally.
According to James P. Johnson, sparrows will huddle together as colder weather begins to approach. With hurricanes down south we gusts of wind all day. The winds of change are upon us.
