Sparrow number three

It*s been a full day.  Now it is fuller.  I am wondering how many more baby sparrows are figuring out how to come up or down the vents.  The last one was covered in lint... which now makes me think perhaps the dryer vent...

I am greeted at the front door
With sparrow number three
In the daughter*s hand.
Yes
He is cute and small
Yes
I know people keep finches
As pets.

No
We can*t
No
I*m so sorry
He is cute and small.
I know
Some people do keep sparrows
In bird cages
As pets.

We still do not know
How numbers one and two
Came in.
Here is number three.
I imagine our walls
Filled with sparrows
Cheeping chirping sparrows.
They live in our walls
Somewhere
Somehow.
It seems the cat has decided
To adopt them all.
