Just a little personal story from this morning.  I am either plagued or blessed with at least two families of House Sparrows nesting in various locations in my place.  This morning, I saw one carrying US currency in its bill in my back yard.  Perhaps it found it on the street was preparing to use it as nesting material.  Perhaps it fell out of a pocket.  Anyway, I chased the bird off and it dropped the money, leaving me a whole dollar richer - or restoring a lost dollar.

Now, if I can just train these little birds to find 50ies or 100s for me . . . .
