What is this little bird?

[monarc23]

back to this bird lol

I say chipping sparrow (5 1/2 inches)

ooor field sparrow (even though they're 5 1/2 inches)

oooorrr dang it i can't find the other i thought it may be (it wasnt a sparrow though and wasnt abotu 2 inches either it was i think it said 4...)


however could you be a lil off on the adults size cuz the birds in my book that are 3 1/2 inches which are the worlds smallest birds (hummingbirds)

i thought house sparrow too (they are everywhere lol) but the two things that threw me off to it was their height 6 inches (adult) and the tan on the wings is longer (However the chicks feathers arent fully growin in yet).

what the farrier basically caused that you're saying? Poor horsie! Or are you meaning the first picture is what his hooves looked like after the farrier visted? *a wee bit confused* he he

The hooves looked like that immediately following the trim. Still chipped and barely rasped. I am investigating the natural trim, reading Jaime Jackson with a Pet Ramey book to read after.

I've got 3 pairs that nested for me in my yard this year so I am used to seeing them. I do believe that is what yours is, but I could be wrong. I have pics of my pairs at home that I could post later. I think the pic makes it a little blurry but their head color is quite distinct.

yeah i agree wth you totally...that's why i was getting flustered when people kept saying wrens and titmouse ha ha to me theres no comparison i knew it had to be some sort of sparrow, and one that I too have in my state (cuz i've seen those exact chicks and birds...but was thrown off by the discription of the size of the adults).
