House Sparrow

The house sparrow is closely associated with settlements, farms and other places offering food and nesting spaces. Adults eat many seeds and grains, while insects are especially important for growing chicks. Cavities in buildings or trees can shelter nests, and groups gather to feed, roost or dust-bathe. Its wide introduced range should not be confused with a single natural distribution. Familiarity around people also does not make it a domesticated bird.
