sparrow feeder

Posted by Dimitrios (ATHENS, Greece) on 24 January 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

This amazing man was outside the Notre Dam cathedral in Paris France. He has soft bread in his hand and the sparrows went to him to take a bite. It was an amazing sceen. I watched him feeding for about 10 minutes. He was very calm amd carying to the birds. This picture will be in my mind for a long long time.....

Anne from White Rock, Canada

This is fantastic! I wouldn't have believed that these kind of small birds would come to a person, even for food. Great capture and an amazing photo!
