Song Lianxiang has been feeding sparrows with millet for the past six years after finding the corpse of a bird that had starved to death in his courtyard.

In the beginning only about 10 birds came to his home for the free feed.

Now, about 400 sparrows flock to his home in Panshi, Jilin province, to eat the millet each day.

Despite the cost of the millet, Song, 63, said he was happy for the little creatures knocking at his windows to wake him up each morning.
