A domestic sparrow, often just a sparrow, is a small bird singer from a family of sparrows who originally live in much of Europe and Asia, and with the help of humans he has also settled other continents and is the most widespread bird in the world. He is a bird of prey, a long 14 and 16 cm, gray-brown with a strong black striated back. Sparrows are kept in groups in all seasons, even during the mating season. They are nesting, eating and staying in groups. I photographed the sparrows in the picture at the bar where I was going to the coffee. They are very domestic and do not fear people.

Thanks for seeing and kind comment dear friend
So is a sparrow a larger group of birds because we call the chicadees!
I sparrows mostly hang out in groups
We have sparrows in Australia but back in my country India we seldom see this lovely creature
Thanks for seeing and kind comment…are you native to India and live in Australia?
Yes I live and work in Australia
thank you for the explanation my friend
Always feed birds in winter – domestic sparrows, tits & bullfinches. Now we have a snowfall, so our bird feeder is very popular among them. 🙂
Even with me, the hatchery of birds is very popular
Sparrows are so cute! We feed the birds in winter and the food attracts a lot of sparrows.
Thanks for seeing and kind comment dear friend…I also feed the birds in winter, and there are many sparrows among them
They are also very much around me, but cannot be approached.
There are quite a lot of people here … not too afraid of people … they pick up crumbs on the ground
It looked very similar to those around me but seemed to have a different lifestyle.
I have a bunch of hem under my camelia bushes.
Thanks for seeing and kind comment dear friend
they’re always hopping about
Thanks for seeing and kind comment my friend
no problem, I like those birds
Recently, crows have appeared and the sparrows are less and less afraid of being scared
and well they should be…
Yes they are cute little bird sunless you have bluebirds. They kill the eggs of a bluebirds and then will kill the bluebirds. It has happened over and over in my backyard.
Carol, I do not believe that … it’s a very small bird, and to kill I hear it for the first time
I have photos but they are too gruesome to show you, I couldn’t believe it either but it happens.
I will not argue that it is impossible because I do not know … it is true that I find it hard to believe and for the first time I hear
There are many sparrows around my home
Sparrows have been hit enough dear Vidocka
Oh yes we have sparrows here in North America or rather Canada where I reside. They are cute little birds and as you explained always grouped together. Unfortunately I cannot feed the birds as I live in a condo setting within a three storey buildings. If ever the birds were to go and do their business on one of the balconys because they were being fed nearby I would never hear the end of it. It is very unfortunate how some people do not enjoy nature and animals as much as I do. I used to feed the black and grey squirrels here and some people complained because the mice would go and retrieve some of the squirrels buried treasures and somehow manage to go into the garage of the upper building occupants. So no more feeding the squirrels. Boo hoo for me!
It is really sad that some people do not respect either the animals or the nature … I understand if the bird feeds the birds, food and feathers would also fly to the neighbor who lives under you
Nobody lives under me, they are all up higher but as I have said if ever a bird would land on their balcony by mistake and either drop bird seeds or do their business on their balcony, beware. Some people are so attached to their property that they see any animal droppings as an offense to their clean environment. I understand that but I would be much more upset it a human came into my porperty uninvited because humans know that they are doing wrong while the animals are doing it just because they can and they have to and not out of spite or trespassing.
I totally agree with you dear friend
nice pictures anyway we have a lot of these birds here and we don’t have winter so no problem with them they can fly around freely.
Thanks for seeing and kind comment dear friend
That’s a lovely photo, Lado. I love sparrows, they are such cute little birds. They are very common in England too.
Thanks for seeing and kind comment dear friend
We’ve these here too!
They’re considered pest tho…. they’re always around in food hawkers, waiting for the eaters to leave and then they’ll go for the scraps!
Thanks for seeing and kind comment…just as people leave, the sparrows are hosted my friend
