This is another morning feeding scene, continuing from yesterday. I changed the
tripod head on the small tripod to prevent it from drooping. To better highlight the differences between the juvenile and adult sparrows, I shot
close-up footage today.
Adult sparrows not only have darker feathers on their chest but also around their
cheeks and eyes. The chest feathers, in particular, vary in shape from one individual to
another, which I suspect is used for identification among their group. The color of the feathers on the crown of the head also becomes a deeper brown in
adults. Overall, adult sparrows appear slender, whereas juveniles look fluffier due to
their soft feathers — likely for maintaining body temperature.
Juveniles are slower in their feeding behavior. They struggle with perching on the
feeding dish and seem to prefer picking up rice grains that have fallen on the ground
first.
This time, I edited the footage with a focus on comparing the juveniles and the adults.
