House Sparrow Feeding Babys, The House Sparrows survive only in the immediate vicinity of people. The House Sparrow prefers to nest in man made structures such as eaves or walls of buildings, street lights, and nest boxes instead of in natural nest sites such as holes in trees.

Transcript: "The House Sparrow is considered to be the most widely distributed bird on the planet. It is native to Europe, Asia and parts of Africa. It was also introduced to the Americas, New Zealand and Australia.
In North America it was introduced to several U.S. cities in the 1800s as a way to control pests and then quickly spread across the continent. This move was considered to be a mistake because the House Sparrow is an aggressive bird that will take over the nests of native species such as House Martins and Bluebirds.
These house sparrows have taken over abandoned cliff swallow nests.
The House Sparrow prefers human-affected areas such as urban, suburban and farm environments. It is rarely found in wilderness areas such as woods, grasslands or desert.
These sparrows prefer to eat seeds and grain, but will also feast on flowers and insects.
The House Sparrow is one of only three birds in the U.S. that is not protected by law from hunting. The other two are the Rock Pigeon and European Starling."

My attempt at getting rid of some sparrows when other pests showed up to the party

The video is the short story of Pip.
Found in our own garden, we have a big group of sparrow living in our roof. On both of the long sides of the house they have nests. Every year we find a couple of dead young who are tossed out of the nest because they died or pushed out.
But Pip was laying in the grass, far from the nest. He was thrown out by one of his parents. The reason we can only guess, because he was in good health.
I took care of him day and night. The first days I checked up on him constantly and fed him every half hour. I did not expect him to make it, simply because it's still such a tiny and fragile animal.
He grew up in my room, this is where he learned to fly. He was tame, used to humans and used to the cat. For these reasons I couldn't set him free. He wouldn't know the dangers outside and no one tought him how to find food, make nests, interact with other sparrows or find food for his own young.
Also, he seemed satisfied with his life as a pet. To him I'm still his mother, he loves to snuggle up. Sleep on my arm, lap or shoulder. He follows me in my room where ever I go. And even if I let him out while I'm in bed, he will come to snuggle up against me and fall asleep.
He gets out of his cage daily, at least twice a day. My room is big enough for him to fly around. Also he hips on the ground, picking up the seeds he tossed out of his cage. He takes a bath almost every day and he's always having a good time, even if he has to entertain himself.

The continuation of the house sparrow calling and trying to attract a female, now that he's found a perfect nesting site - the new birdhouse in the backyard. (Original story here: http://stkittsthegreat.com/the-backyard-birds-and-the-new-birdhouse-part-1/)
Males take up nesting sites before the breeding season, by frequently calling beside them. Unmated males start nest construction and call particularly frequently to attract females. When a female approaches a male during this period, the male displays by moving up and down while drooping and shivering his wings, pushing up his head, raising and spreading his tail, and showing his bib. Males may try to mate with females while calling or displaying. In response, a female will adopt a threatening posture and attack a male before flying away, pursued by the male.
The male displays in front of her, attracting other males, who also pursue and display to the female. This group display usually does not immediately result in copulations.[130] Other males usually do not copulate with the female.
Copulation is typically initiated by the female giving a soft dee-dee-dee call to the male. Birds of a pair copulate frequently until the female is laying eggs, and the male mounts the female repeatedly each time a pair mates.

********VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS***********
Need to know what to feed a baby sparrow. You can use the diet on this page. Please do not use the comment section to ask questions about sparrow care as I will be offline for many weeks. Please read what is below for help. This diet is fine for sparrows as well as starlings. http://www.starlingtalk.com/babycare.htm - I strongly suggest you join the Starling Talk free private message forum as they have a section for sparrows and will help you with any questions and advice you may need. This video is the first in a series of 'transition' videos, showing the life of a sparrow. This show features SPOGGY our beloved sparrow, who was orphaned at just one day old and shows his transition through photos and videos, up to 1 month of age. We hope the photos of him will help others to identify and age a baby sparrow swiftly. Watch out for show #2 which will show Spoggy from one month old - 3 months old. At the time of loading this, Spoggy is 3.5 years old. He is very happy, healthy and handsome.
This has been a Spoggy and Susan production.
Many thanks to Holly Kirby for the wonderful music.
PLEASE GO TO THE STARLING TALK website and forum for information on how to raise baby sparrows and starlings. You will get all the information you need on diet, nutrition and care. Please do not ask rescue questions in the comments for this video as I am only online a few times a week.
THANK YOU and Spoggy sends you all a WINGWAVE

Good information on house sparrows. http://www.sialis.org/hosp.htm
"Without question the most deplorable event in the history of American ornithology was the introduction of the English Sparrow." -W.L. Dawson, The Birds of Ohio, 1903
This video shows the removal (by hunting) of English (House) Sparrows from a feeder for the purpose of creating a friendlier environment for native song birds. This method equals instant death for the birds in question - much better than poisoning or netting.
This was one of 4 trips I made to this location. By the end of the fourth trip, the English sparrow numbers were reduced significantly enough so that they no longer "swarmed" the feeder. Native song birds returned in healthy numbers. I estimated I shot around 200 in total (over the 4 days). I also tore sparrow nests out of the trees and barns. I hit 'em like a ton of bricks. And the result was that there were song birds all over that bird feeder at the end of day 4. (the video was filmed on day 3). I moved around this location, shooting at 3 or 4 "hot spots". This spot was just the easiest to film.
Equipment details:
The Camera Mount I used to record through the scope can be found here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0069VXY7K/ref=as_li_tf_til?tag=tesho-20&camp;=0&creative;=0&linkCode;=as1&creativeASIN;=B0069VXY7K&adid;=0BT5KYTFN3354NYV6VDZ&
The slow-motion camera I use to film the shots through the scope is the Casio EX-FC150. That camera is no longer made, but you can buy its successor (which is actually a better camera than the one I use) here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004H3X1EI/ref=as_li_tf_til?tag=tesho-20&camp;=0&creative;=0&linkCode;=as1&creativeASIN;=B004H3X1EI&adid;=09KQ0P271FA862W178P9&
The Exact same Hawke Scope that I use in this video (Sidewinder TAC 30 6.5-20x) can be found here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00413KACA/ref=as_li_tf_til?tag=tesho-20&camp;=0&creative;=0&linkCode;=as1&creativeASIN;=B00413KACA&adid;=1WKA7Y5T5N6ER8MT8TQZ&
Gun - Edgun Matador .22 PCP air rifle
Scope - Hawke Sidewinder 30 6.5-20x (video at 10x)
Pellets - JSB 18.1g shooting at 920 fps (34 ft/lbs energy)
[It goes without saying that] All birds were legally shot, and all are exotic species. I can't say this enough - if you have a problem with hunting do NOT watch this video. Friends can comment without approval. All others will be screened.
For those who do enjoy hunting...um....enjoy. :)
European house sparrows are an out-right plague on some farms. If left unchecked, their numbers swell out of control. They eat a lot of the livestock feed. But, what is worse is that they defecate in that feed. In this way, they can spread crippling disease very quickly to the animals.
Furthermore, these birds are quite aggressive and disrupt the nesting of tree cavity-nesting birds, such as Purple Martin, Eastern Bluebird, Carolina wren, and a variety of woodpeckers.
We not only shoot sparrows and starlings, we remove their nests and habitat (brush) as much as possible. Some folks think it doesn't make a difference. I can tell you that they are not trying hard enough. If you make life tough on these birds, they will find alternative areas to congregate.
Do a Google search on "House Sparrow" and you will find much information about the damage they cause. One thing I'm sure of is that if these birds were ugly like a rat, fewer people would be so quick to chastise me for blasting them.

Filozoa
The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a bird of the sparrow family Passeridae, found in most parts of the world. A small bird, it has a typical length of 16 centimetres (6.3 in) and a weight of 24–39.5 grams (0.85–1.39 oz). Females and young birds are coloured pale brown and grey, and males have brighter black, white, and brown markings. One of about 25 species in the genus Passer, the House Sparrow occurs naturally in most of Europe, the Mediterranean region, and much of Asia. Its intentional or accidental introductions to many regions, including parts of Australia, Africa, and the Americas, make it the most widely distributed wild bird. The House Sparrow is strongly associated with human habitations, and can live in urban or rural settings. Though found in widely varied habitats and climates, it typically avoids extensive woodlands, grasslands, and deserts away from human development. The House Sparrow feeds mostly on the seeds of grains and weeds, and insects, and can perform complex and unusual tasks to obtain food. The predators of the House Sparrow include domestic cats, hawks, owls, and many other predatory birds and mammals.

Every year we find a couple of dead young who are tossed out of the nest because they died or pushed out. But Pip was laying in the grass, far from the nest. He was thrown out by one of his parents. The reason we can only guess, because he was in good health. I took care of him day and night. The first days I checked up on him constantly and fed him every half hour. I did not expect him to make it, simply because it's still such a tiny and fragile animal. He grew up in my room, this is where he learned to fly. He was tame, used to humans and used to the cat. For these reasons I couldn't set him free. He wouldn't... -

Male House Sparrow STILL Calling For Female - Part 2 - Rain or Shine...
The continuation of the house sparrow calling and trying to attract a female, now that he's found a perfect nesting site - the new birdhouse in the backyard. (Original story here: http://stkittsthegreat.com/the-backyard-birds-and-the-new-birdhouse-part-1/) Males take up nesting sites before the breeding season, by frequently calling beside them. Unmated males start nest construction and call particularly frequently to attract females. When a female approaches a male during this period, the male displays by moving up and down while drooping and shivering his wings, pushing up his head, raising and spreading his tail, and showing his bib. Males may try to mate with females while calling or displaying. In response, a female will adopt a threatening posture and attack a male before flying awa... -

English Sparrow (pest) eradication from bird feeder
Good information on house sparrows. http://www.sialis.org/hosp.htm "Without question the most deplorable event in the history of American ornithology was the introduction of the English Sparrow." -W.L. Dawson, The Birds of Ohio, 1903 This video shows the removal (by hunting) of English (House) Sparrows from a feeder for the purpose of creating a friendlier environment for native song birds. This method equals instant death for the birds in question - much better than poisoning or netting. This was one of 4 trips I made to this location. By the end of the fourth trip, the English sparrow numbers were reduced significantly enough so that they no longer "swarmed" the feeder. Native song birds returned in healthy numbers. I estimated I shot around 200 in total (over the 4 days). I als... -

How to keep backyard birds safe. The English House Sparrow will kill our native nest cavity seeking birds to Steal the nest. I have seen young bluebirds killed and tossed out of the nest when an empty nest box is nearby. The English House Sparrows choose to kill our native birds. Look inside any bird houses you put up in your yard. Do your birds a favor by peeking in the nests. It's fun, and you may just witness something that makes you take action like I do. -

Northern Cardinal Fighting a House Sparrow.
The Sparrows wiped out the Safflower on this cold day, I refilled the feeder with what little I had left. Almost sunset with time running out and little to eat at the feeder makes for a reason to stand your ground now! The reason the male pushes the female away at the beginning is because that is his daughter (notice her dark Juvenile Beak) and parents will do this so the kids move on and not depend on them forever. -
Confused House Sparrow
This sparrow seems confused after he hears his own voice coming from a speaker. I previously recorded the sparrows singing and chirping, and when I played it back to them, one of them jumped to the keyboard and started doing a weird dance. He must think there's an intruder sparrow, so he's in attack mode (big and fluffy) to scare them off. -

House Sparrows Feeding Babies in Nest
House Sparrow couple feeding two babies in a nest in an old Purple Martin house grown over by tree branches on a trip north. This is not Purple Martin habitat so they are not displacing them, but like the House Wren they are tenacious defenders of their cavity nests. Introduced from Europe in the 19th century the House Sparrow is now a common bird in many urban areas. This nice clean, attractive couple display the energy and dedicated work ethic of caring for their young. If you watch closely you will see a fecal sac removed to keep the nest clean and some housekeeping done as the adult enter the nest and tidy up. New HD videos uploaded weekly.

http://quickdirt.com is my new mountain biking website. Check it out for more great adventures!
Transcript: "The House Sparrow is considered to be the most widely distributed bird on the planet. It is native to Europe, Asia and parts of Africa. It was also introduced to the Americas, New Zealand and Australia.
In North America it was introduced to several U.S. cities in the 1800s as a way to control pests and then quickly spread across the continent. This move was considered to be a mistake because the House Sparrow is an aggressive bird that will take over the nests of native species such as House Martins and Bluebirds.
These house sparrows have taken over abandoned cliff swallow nests.
The House Sparrow prefers human-affected areas such as urban, suburban and farm environments. It is rarely found in wilderness areas such as woods, grasslands or desert.
These sparrows prefer to eat seeds and grain, but will also feast on flowers and insects.
The House Sparrow is one of only three birds in the U.S. that is not protected by law from hunting. The other two are the Rock Pigeon and European Starling."

The video is the short story of Pip.
Found in our own garden, we have a big group of sparrow living in our roof. On both of the long sides of the house they have nests. Every year we find a couple of dead young who are tossed out of the nest because they died or pushed out.
But Pip was laying in the grass, far from the nest. He was thrown out by one of his parents. The reason we can only guess, because he was in good health.
I took care of him day and night. The first days I checked up on him constantly and fed him every half hour. I did not expect him to make it, simply because it's still such a tiny and fragile animal.
He grew up in my room, this is where he learned to fly. He was tame, used to humans and used to the cat. For these reasons I couldn't set him free. He wouldn't know the dangers outside and no one tought him how to find food, make nests, interact with other sparrows or find food for his own young.
Also, he seemed satisfied with his life as a pet. To him I'm still his mother, he loves to snuggle up. Sleep on my arm, lap or shoulder. He follows me in my room where ever I go. And even if I let him out while I'm in bed, he will come to snuggle up against me and fall asleep.
He gets out of his cage daily, at least twice a day. My room is big enough for him to fly around. Also he hips on the ground, picking up the seeds he tossed out of his cage. He takes a bath almost every day and he's always having a good time, even if he has to entertain himself.

The continuation of the house sparrow calling and trying to attract a female, now that he's found a perfect nesting site - the new birdhouse in the backyard. (Original story here: http://stkittsthegreat.com/the-backyard-birds-and-the-new-birdhouse-part-1/)
Males take up nesting sites before the breeding season, by frequently calling beside them. Unmated males start nest construction and call particularly frequently to attract females. When a female approaches a male during this period, the male displays by moving up and down while drooping and shivering his wings, pushing up his head, raising and spreading his tail, and showing his bib. Males may try to mate with females while calling or displaying. In response, a female will adopt a threatening posture and attack a male before flying away, pursued by the male.
The male displays in front of her, attracting other males, who also pursue and display to the female. This group display usually does not immediately result in copulations.[130] Other males usually do not copulate with the female.
Copulation is typically initiated by the female giving a soft dee-dee-dee call to the male. Birds of a pair copulate frequently until the female is laying eggs, and the male mounts the female repeatedly each time a pair mates.

Good information on house sparrows. http://www.sialis.org/hosp.htm
"Without question the most deplorable event in the history of American ornithology was the introduction of the English Sparrow." -W.L. Dawson, The Birds of Ohio, 1903
This video shows the removal (by hunting) of English (House) Sparrows from a feeder for the purpose of creating a friendlier environment for native song birds. This method equals instant death for the birds in question - much better than poisoning or netting.
This was one of 4 trips I made to this location. By the end of the fourth trip, the English sparrow numbers were reduced significantly enough so that they no longer "swarmed" the feeder. Native song birds returned in healthy numbers. I estimated I shot around 200 in total (over the 4 days). I also tore sparrow nests out of the trees and barns. I hit 'em like a ton of bricks. And the result was that there were song birds all over that bird feeder at the end of day 4. (the video was filmed on day 3). I moved around this location, shooting at 3 or 4 "hot spots". This spot was just the easiest to film.
Equipment details:

The slow-motion camera I use to film the shots through the scope is the Casio EX-FC150. That camera is no longer made, but you can buy its successor (which is actually a better camera than the one I use) here:

Scope - Hawke Sidewinder 30 6.5-20x (video at 10x)

[It goes without saying that] All birds were legally shot, and all are exotic species. I can't say this enough - if you have a problem with hunting do NOT watch this video. Friends can comment without approval. All others will be screened.
For those who do enjoy hunting...um....enjoy. :)
European house sparrows are an out-right plague on some farms. If left unchecked, their numbers swell out of control. They eat a lot of the livestock feed. But, what is worse is that they defecate in that feed. In this way, they can spread crippling disease very quickly to the animals.
Furthermore, these birds are quite aggressive and disrupt the nesting of tree cavity-nesting birds, such as Purple Martin, Eastern Bluebird, Carolina wren, and a variety of woodpeckers.
We not only shoot sparrows and starlings, we remove their nests and habitat (brush) as much as possible. Some folks think it doesn't make a difference. I can tell you that they are not trying hard enough. If you make life tough on these birds, they will find alternative areas to congregate.
Do a Google search on "House Sparrow" and you will find much information about the damage they cause. One thing I'm sure of is that if these birds were ugly like a rat, fewer people would be so quick to chastise me for blasting them.

Do a Google search on "House Sparrow" and you will find much information about the damage they cause. One thing I'm sure of is that if these birds were ugly like a rat, fewer people would be so quick to chastise me for blasting them.

How to keep backyard birds safe. The English House Sparrow will kill our native nest cavity seeking birds to Steal the nest. I have seen young bluebirds killed and tossed out of the nest when an empty nest box is nearby. The English House Sparrows choose to kill our native birds. Look inside any bird houses you put up in your yard. Do your birds a favor by peeking in the nests. It's fun, and you may just witness something that makes you take action like I do.

The Sparrows wiped out the Safflower on this cold day, I refilled the feeder with what little I had left. Almost sunset with time running out and little to eat at the feeder makes for a reason to stand your ground now! The reason the male pushes the female away at the beginning is because that is his daughter (notice her dark Juvenile Beak) and parents will do this so the kids move on and not depend on them forever.

This sparrow seems confused after he hears his own voice coming from a speaker. I previously recorded the sparrows singing and chirping, and when I played it back to them, one of them jumped to the keyboard and started doing a weird dance. He must think there's an intruder sparrow, so he's in attack mode (big and fluffy) to scare them off.

House Sparrow couple feeding two babies in a nest in an old Purple Martin house grown over by tree branches on a trip north. This is not Purple Martin habitat so they are not displacing them, but like the House Wren they are tenacious defenders of their cavity nests. Introduced from Europe in the 19th century the House Sparrow is now a common bird in many urban areas. This nice clean, attractive couple display the energy and dedicated work ethic of caring for their young. If you watch closely you will see a fecal sac removed to keep the nest clean and some housekeeping done as the adult enter the nest and tidy up.
