Today we had an unexpected visitor - a house sparrow that flew into our office when we opened the door this morning. It appeared to be a young bird and was clearly distressed by the extreme heat. We made a temporary shelter for it using a tissue box, and provided water, food, and a safe place to rest for a few hours during the hottest part of the day (for reference, its currently 43°C!).
After a few hours, once it had recovered, we released the Sparrow into a nearby shaded area close to where it was found.
