The author finds a baby sparrow that has fallen from the nest and manages to keep it alive. The book traces the effect this event has on his life. There is much information about sparrows; I had never guessed they were so interesting. He describes in detail his getting to know this bird he calls B and how their relationship flourishes. He ends up with seven wild birds, uncaged, living in his second story rooms. A large part of the books is a collection of memories, thoughts, quotes on life as his view of the world changes or is clarified, told with great wit and humor. A wonderful book.
