DESCRIPTION
House
sparrows are everywhere! They
were brought to North America
from England in the 1800s and
have made themselves at home.
While they do eat some insect
pests, they can be a nuisance
to farmers because they eat so
much grain.
House
sparrows are so well-suited to
city living that they have no
need to migrate.
Sometimes
house sparrows tend to become
very aggressive. They follow
robins, picking up bits of
dropped food, and will even
try to snatch it away from the
larger birds.
