	Sparrow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		American sparrows are not closely related; they are in the family Emberizidae along with the buntings.
		Sparrows are primarily seed-eaters, though they also consume small insects.
		House Sparrows, for example, are now found throughout North America, in every state of Australia except for Western Australia, and over much of heavily populated parts of South America.

	The Eurasian Tree Sparrow
		Eurasian tree sparrows--not to be confused with American tree sparrows that nest in the far north and visit Missouri only in winter--are readily identified by fl dots showing on white checks.
		The Eurasian tree sparrow can also be found in scattered localities about the eastern, or floodplain, portion of St. Charles County and in numerous areas on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River.
		The Eurasian tree sparrows typically confine themselves to rural areas, while the house sparrows gather in large and noisy congregations around city buildings, where they are considered nuisances.

	House sparrow
		The hordes of house sparrows that populate both town and country have made a substantial dent in the breeding success of our native cavity nesters such as bluebirds, purple martins, and tree swallows.
		Unlike the blue birds and tree swallows, both the house sparrow and starling will nest in close proximity to other pairs of their own species, making it impossible to saturate an area with nestboxes so that other species will be able to nest.
		It may be that none of the sparrows that had learned to harvest the upside down bundles of flowers four years earlier were still alive, and the current generation had to rediscover this unusual food source.

	House Sparrows by Steve Eno
		While it appeared the house sparrow was an easy answer to several problems facing a new society, no one could foresee the damage that would be done to the population of native birds.
		The young sparrows fledge after 15 to 17 days in the nest, and since house sparrows are non-migratory, they never wander too far from their place of birth.
		Although constant monitoring will guarantee that no sparrows fledge from your trail, be aware that you run the risk of antagonizing the house sparrow which would send him on a rampage, destroying bluebird nests, and killing nestlings and adult bluebirds in other boxes on your trail.

	Java Rice Birds - Information. Compliments of Lorrin & Nina Lee
		The Java Sparrow was not common in Jakarta city, but abundant in the outskirts, especially in and around rice fields, but also grassy areas near fish ponds and even, but in very small numbers in the mangroves (Hoogerwerf and R.H. Siccama 1938), and also remote grassy areas without rice (Bartels unpubl.).
		Where Tree Sparrows are scarce or absent, the nest are built on and under roofs (Koningsberger 1901-1909).
		The Tree Sparrow is a relatively recent arrival, and where the appearance of Tree Sparrow concurs with the disappearance of Java Sparrows (e.g., Pelabuhan Ratu) mutual exclusion is suggested of these ecologically very similar species.
