this one’s based off a french wax seal from the 1830s (toujours errante, jamais infidele) …and a miscommunication. the bird was supposed to be a swallow, but there was an autocorrect issue lmao. I still love it! sparrows are one of my favourite birds. and I chose a song sparrow specifically.

MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND ONE: ROOSTER vs. SONG SPARROW
IN THE BLUE CORNER, get ready to wake up to the crowing of the king of the barnyard, the one and only rooster!
this chicken is anything but domestic, with its powerful build and aggressive fighting style. watch out for those razor-sharp spurs, as this is a bird that's not afraid to use them. this opponent knows he's the cock of the walk. he knows how to work the crowd, strutting around the ring and crowing triumphantly. that crow is famous enough that rooster crowing contests are a traditional sport across the globe, with people specially engineering long-crowing breeds for the sake of showmanship. this rooster is here to show he's not just another barnyard animal - he's a force to be reckoned with.
IN THE RED CORNER, hailing from the fields and meadows, we have the passerellidae that packs a punch, the song sparrow!
this is a songbird that'll knock your socks off, folks. this bird's colorful variety of songs has been compared to beethoven's symphony no. 5. just one sparrow will know as many as 20 songs with over a thousand improvised variations. it's hard to describe this bird's song - just when you think you have it memorized, they switch it up with something brand new. this is the song sparrow, and it's ready to show the world what it's made of.

Song Sparrow
The quiet January Song Sparrow is a clear contrast to the songster in spring. To hear its familiar melody in March is assurance that winter is on the decline.
