The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a small and highly adaptable songbird commonly found in cities, towns, farms, and suburban areas throughout much of the world.
Recognizable by its compact body, short tail, and stout bill, males display gray crowns and black bibs, while females are more subtly colored in shades of brown and tan. Its diet consists primarily of seeds, grains, insects, and food scraps, allowing it to thrive in close association with humans.
House Sparrows are social birds that often gather in flocks and readily nest in buildings, tree cavities, and other sheltered locations.
