Sparrow was initially introduced into North America from its native Europe
in the 1850s and the spreaded across urban and agricultural regions of various
countries. They are also found in the remote places but they like to stay near
people and their building. When people build their houses, later or sooner birds
do come to share their area.
The size of a bird may range to a maximum
length of 14-16 centimeters (6-6 inches) including a wingspan of 19-25 centimeters
(7-10 inches) and weighs up to a maximum weight of 26-32 grams (0.92-1.13 ounces).
Their legs and toes are favored for branch perching and their short cone-shaped
bills are ideal for seed cracking. They are generally small in size and can be
seen in human modified habitats such as farms, residential, and urban areas.
Their diet mainly includes seeds, especially waste grain and livestock feed. They
also consume weed, seeds, insects, fruits, vegetables, human table scraps. They
live in a nest which is made up of dried vegetation, feathers, string, and paper,
with opening on side.
House Sparrows are one of the most abundant birds
in North America, with a population estimated at approximately 150 million.
