Their adventures cover the world, travelling westward with the sun from Cairo to Vienna, Paris, New York, Beijing and Moscow. Small and grey-brown, sparrows may seem dull, but this first impression is deceptive. They sing as prettily as canaries and can imitate other birds - even machines! They're extremely clever, dunking dry bread and rice in water to eat, and learning to open milk cans by watching other birds. Their insect-hunting skills are breath-taking. The camera pursues these artists of flight through narrow alleys, revealing their spectacular aerial manoeuvres.
