\"Bird
Sparrow looks down from rafters in the main atrium of Stanfield Halifax International Airport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you’re bored in Halifax Stanfield International airport, you can always watch the birds in the central atrium. They’ll be watching you anyway. The atrium is full of cheerful chirping. There’s a sign that asks you not to feed the birds, so apparently their presence is intentional. <\/p>\n

These aren’t pigeons or ducks that walk around on the floor; they’re little songbird types, and they mostly fly from rafter to rafter way up. If no one’s around they’ll swoop down to the level of the tropical plants behind the benches.<\/p>\n

Next time (especially if I’m just picking someone up), I’ll bring my binoculars. The only one I saw close enough to identify was a house sparrow. But they aren’t all house sparrows, that much I could tell.<\/p>\n

So, does anyone know about the birds in the airport, how long they’ve been there and what species they are?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
