There& #39;s one little sparrow been a standout on our balcony this week.

Yesterday he did a Michael Jackson dance with his tail up, like some kind of lekking behaviour, and today he& #39;s getting Bolshy at the doves and marking out territory. Chased him into the lily pily.

Have never seen such complex social behaviour from a sparrow until this individual.

Most of them just flock in for our left-over bread crumbs, taking turns to dip in or flying off with a chunky bit. Mostly they share the space. This one fella acts like he owns the joint.

Here is a close up of one of the lady sparrows loitering on our balcony. They are really very lovely when you look closely.
