I think that the commenter, like me, understood it as that the deer was reading a non-fiction book while eating a sparrow. Which is an interesting image

Oh! Sorry. I don’t know how to place English commas, lol.

  You nailed it here! :)
  
  Commas basically go where you want to separate two thoughts in a sentence or “take a breath” without the full stop of a period. They also often separate objects in lists, or signify that you’re talking to somebody.
  
  A classic joke:
  
  “Let’s eat grandma!”
  
  “Let’s eat, grandma!”
  
  “Commas save lives!”
  
  😂 Hope that helps a bit! You’re doing great though, don’t worry. :)

    At the very least, the only thing that got eaten was a bird. Sadly, deer are still illiterate 😢
    
    Thanks for the comma-assistance, btw. 🤗
