I'm so sorry to hear she did not make it. Her death was not in vain though, I've learned so much from watching your videos. Rest assured you did all you could for her...for all of them...and then some!
Did you ever find out what caused the illness? I saw a documentary on one of the nature channels the other day about an internal parasite and the symptoms were very similar to the ones the swallows displayed.
This is a very sad story for me.I thought the last one would have survived...
So these house sparrows are very dangerous..I also have a big problem from grey Squirrels and starlings..They are a nuisance...They come and eat all the bird food ...
Once again I am so sad about the little birds and you are so great and kind to look after them very well and thank you so much for your kindness...
Such a sad story and a lovely tribute, I can sympathise with your feelings and
comments about the House sparrow, introducing non native species was rife during this period in history, we have a similar problem with grey squirrels and mink!

When I rescued them, they had no feathers and didnt see any blow flies, parasites and kept an eye on their feces. But yah never know, could be.
The Licensed Wildlife rehabilitation guy thought it was a deficiency.
Thanks for the thoughts.

Me too my friend. It's a big bummer. I was depressed about it. But I have to move on.
If only I could get them back..I hate death, always have to be honest.
I use safflower at one feeder..squirrels don't like it. Try that. It still attracts Titmice, red finches, cardinals and chickadees.
We have starlings here too, but not that big a problem.
