The polystyrene foam will be covered by twigs and leaves to give the sparrows a home-like feeling and toattractmoresparrows.
The tail would be a sheet or a plank covered with peacock tail patterns which covers a broad area and provides sufficient space for the birds to eat, peacock is also a predator of snakes and other rodents so the image of a peacock will keep predatorsaway
