===========================

  Some brown sparrows who live
  in the Bronx Zoo visit often
  the captive Victoria Crested
  Pheasant, visit captive Peacocks,
  Cockatoos. They fly through bars
  to visit also monkeys, jackals,
  bears. They delouse themselves in
  cage dust, shaking joyously;
  they hunt for bread crumbs, seeds
  or other tidbits. Briefly,
  they lead free sparrow lives
  and fly free.
