A sparrow is a type of small bird.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------Sparrows (or swallows) are bird tattoos. Sailors used to traditionally get 1 sparrow one their chest to symbolize 5000 nautical miles traveled, and a second one for 10,000 miles. Sparrows were chosen as sailor-lore says that if a man drowns, the sparrows will carry his soul to heaven.
