home to roost

There are birds in the domestic departures lounge (through security) in the Edmonton International Airport.
Not being much of a birdwatcher myself, I can’t tell you if these are little sparrows or not. The ones I’ve seen are delicate looking brown birds. Of course, that’s an overly simplistic definition. To add shame to my lack of bird identification abilities I completely forgot I had a camera option on my cell phone and didn’t get a picture of any of them.
I remember noting that there were birds flying around in the domestic departures area when I flew to NB a few weeks ago. There were a number of small children delighted to see birds hopping around the floor and flying away when approached. I’d completely forgot about them until I landed back in the lounge to head back to NB yesterday.
I don’t recall ever seeing birds in the US departures lounge.

Alex and I saw birds in Minneapolis. He thought it was cool. We had never seen any in Edmonton until we took Paul V there last month. It looked like in both cases that they would have been happier outside of the airport. I think Edmonton’s were sparrows, while Minneapolis had swallows. Like you, my bird identification skills are a bit limited, but that is what they looked like to me.
