At the Oasis, Watching Birds

I’m at the Oasis. This is the first time I've watched a bird beg like a puppy dog for scraps at the table. If you've seen a juvenile bird (just out of the nest) drop its head, slightly extend its wings, and then peep submissively to its parents to be fed, you’d see that this is what this adult sparrow was doing at our table to get scraps.
