While looking at camp stoves I thought that I needed a tiny one.
This is a wood burning (tea Light Alternative) miniature camp stove.
The stove is made from scrap copper tubing and about 3 hours of my time.
I used 2 5/8 copper tube and basic copper plumbing tube. all connections are brazed using my Smith Mini Torch.
When completed It will boil water and keep going for up to 25 minutes.
All that is missing is a laser etched maple leaf

I used scrap copper tubing that was 2 5/8 inside diameter. Along with small sections of regular 3/4 and 1/2 inch rigid plumbing copper.
You will need a section of flat copper. I used a section of the scrap tube to provide this. Flatten using scrap pieces of wood and a hammer rather than just a hammer since this will deform the metal. You want an even, flat surface.
Cut a section roughly the diameter of your tube for the burner box then another section that is the diameter of the pipe for the top and bottom caps.

Awesome mini-project!!
make the fire box a little taller, and bring the chimney out the back side below the top surface.
With the chimney coming directly out of the top, all the heat is leaving. With a space above the outlet, a higher temperature should be achieved, and it gives you an uncluttered top for a larger skillet to fry the sparrow egg on.
An African or a European one?
I need more information to actually answer that question.
What are you swallowing? Has it been well masticated and thoroughly mixed with a liquid?
Also, is the liquid water based, oil based or alcohol based?
Oil based should slide down rather quickly, but comparing the distance, assumed to be equal, to the distance the Sparrow travels, the Sparrow would win hands down.
Water is heavier and has a thicker consistency, so would naturally be slower.
Alcohol based, assuming again legal age to consume adult beverages, after the third swallow... who cares?
I do hope this helps clarify the question.
Swallows zip through the air like aerobats on steroids.
Sparrows hop around on my patio fertilizing the patio flooring where nothing can grow.
As we know that birds generally share a common morphology, we may therefore conclude that a significant portion of birds are, in fact, spherical[3].
The problem, I think, is that your physicists are only educated to the undergraduate level. Postgraduate education would make such reasoning as this second nature.

[2]SzöllQsi, G. (2009).
[3] Troll, Edward D. ( :D )
...unless your much higher level of education demands that all birds be considered to be quite similar to the their spherical body styles.
In which case I must point out that a Peregrine Falcon and an Emperor Penguin have few similarities, yet both are birds... As are Kiwis...
See

for a similar example.
I had only a small amount of the large size copper tube to work with and I did consider bringing the chimney stack out of the back but I did not have a copper street elbow to work with.
I will have to try it in the near future.
Where exactly were you years ago when my Ken and Barbie needed heat on those cold Canadian winter nights???
Btw, Loved your ible!
Just remember do not heat the filler, just the metals to be brazed.
At the risk of opening up a controversy on proper brazing, I have posted a video showing my brazing techniques.

I had an immense amount of fun with this one...
And yes the cup will hold coffee but just the right amount... :-)
Cheers!! :-)
