Observe

I sat outside and watched the sparrows navigate slipping inside the mesh cage under the eaves. There's a glorious nest tucked up there. One sparrow pecked at another one that was trying to come inside his little room.

I heard a car and turned my head catching a wave of shiny blue, a sedan gliding down the driveway. A thickly-built man in a white T-shirt came out from between the buildings and slowly walked down my driveway. Once you know what's going on every move they make screams and shouts. I decided to go inside and turn on the fan and pull the shades. Peace at last.
