Flocking around our towns and cities, the cheeky calls and playful antics of the house sparrow are a constant background to our urban living. Despite their declining populations these ubiquitous little brown birds make home wherever we make home and inveigle themselves joyfully into our lives, whether we like it or not. In this extended version of Tweet of the Day we hear from three people who have taken the house sparrow into their hearts; rower and a two-time Olympic Gold medalist Alex Gregory, wildlife presenter Michaela Strachan and celebrity television chef Cyrus Todiwala.
