Day 19 of week 3 January 2024
I recently Google that question. The answer tells me they group in trees and shrubs. There are and have been numerous shrubs near the building where I live. Yet, I have never seen a sleeping group of sparrows.
I Googled group sparrows sleeping. No images appear in the results. I have seen groups of sparrows in shrubs. They aren't sleeping. They hop from branch to branch making a lot of chirping noise.
Update on learning my iphone 13:
It is creepy how my iphone 13 will slide on the least little incline. Online, I read that the surface is slippery.
My question is why make a phone that slippery? You need a cover on the phone that keeps it from sliding. You can sit there and watch it slowly slide, like a ghost pushing it because the incline is so slight it looks flat. The phone won't stop sliding until it bumps into something or falls on the floor.
Black screen iphone 13 problem. Press power button, seconds later the screen goes black. Multiple times, slide, opens, goes black. Manage to put in passcode to open phone, screen goes black. Try again, have to log in again, screen goes black.
Caution. If you log in with iphone passcode 6 times in a row, the device will lock you out.
My phone requires multiple log ins. If I use the phone, put it down for a few seconds, it goes off requiring me to log in again. I shut off the passcode requirement.
After I manage to use the phone for a few minutes, the going to black screen appears to stop. I searched online for a fix. I manage with great effort to restart my phone. So far, the black screen problem appears to have stopped.*
*Update late morning...black screen on and off problem hasn't return.
The phone is a pleasure to use without a passcode.
I’ve been wondering about the birds here as well!
ReplyDeleteI like to read about birds...should learn more about my phone though! lol
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeleteBehind buildings and abandoned sections, I've seen sparrows flying in and out of places near the gutters where there are holes. I think places like that are what sparrows look for most. Overnight in a tree during a storm, I don't imagine they'd do well in trees. During an ice storm, they'd be birdcicles.
Oh my-about your phone-this one sounds like a clunker. My iPhone 11 is great-none of the problems you are having. Can you take yours back?
ReplyDeleteDiane,
ReplyDeleteLearning about an iphone is a challenge.Good luck! Reading about birds is a pleasure for sure.
Debra,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. From what I've read online, there might be a fee involved. I will stop by the store to ask what is allowable. I've only had the phone for about 4 months. It is a good deal, if I knew how to use it better, and, no glitches.
I've often wondered where birds go to sleep and keep warm during these bitterly cold days and nights.
ReplyDeleteMy new cell phone had an infuriating habit of shutting itself off often before I managed to even use it. #2 son, when we were visiting in September, changed some sort of setting that now allows it to stay on a bit longer. Much less frustrating than having to start over at the beginning so often.
Maryanne,
ReplyDeletePlease, ask #2 son what setting he fixed.
I've had the same problem with screen time going off too soon. During the black out screen issue, I did change some settings. Alas, I once again did not write down what I did.
Sorry you are having phone issues and glad to hear most of them have been rectified. Never really thought about sparrows. Interesting.
ReplyDeletei have an iphone 13 and have not noticed that problem. it is good to read up on them online, it really does help!!
ReplyDeleteit also helps to have older sons, i have 2 but they don't live nearby!!
Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThat is good to know. There is hope the problem won't return. Having folks that can help, phone calls are wonderful.
It seems like sparrows are my main bird feeder guests -- and like you, I've never seen sleeping sparrows!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
ReplyDeleteI think juncos out number the sparrows this year. The mourning dove flock also seems to be larger than I remember from last year.
