A bold and dashing bird, though of no great size, whose favorite spot seems to be the lofty tree-top, and, in default of that, the rock-crevice. It seldom builds a nest of its' own, but takes possession of that which has been made by some other bird.
Horus, of Egyptian mythology, considered the victorious god of the Sun who each day overcomes darkness. He is often represented with the head of a sparrowhawk, which was sacred to him, as the hawk flies high above the Earth.
Psalms 84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
The Twin Sparrows
