Or John of Clay is a bird that commonly nests here in Brasil.
On this occasion, a pair nested on the outside of our second floor window.
Sadly for us, they left before we moved in.
Happily for a family of Sparrows, they left before they moved in.
As with our apartment, the Sparrow family have seen to redesign their living quarters and as we speak are; knocking through muddy walls and re-decorating with twigs and leaves.
I must say, it's coming along nicely.
A few other facts about the previous tenants;
Joao de Barro/ John of Clay has a Mrs, she's called Maria of Clay or Ladybug of Clay or even Sabiazinho in some places.
They are said to be happy, intelligent and when they sing it's a sign of good weather.
We need some of that here.
