Animal symbolism
Sparrow
What the tradition holds
Read as the value of small and ordinary things, and as protection for the unremarkable.
Where that reading came from
Sparrows live wherever people do, in numbers, and have done for as long as there have been settlements. The tradition is about the dignity of what is everywhere.
The commonest bird in the street is the hardest to read as a sign. That is worth knowing before you read one.
