| | Managing House Sparrows |
 | | Other "brown birds" sometimes confused with the house sparrow are the house wren, carolina wren, chipping sparrow, house finch, Eurasian Tree Sparrow (has a brown crown instead of the HOSPs' gray crown, and it has a black spot on its cheek that the HOSP doesn't have), and other song sparrows (e.g., white throated). |
 | | See the house sparrow advisory you can give to people with neglected nestboxes where HOSP are allowed to breed, or who are feeding millet/cracked corn birdseed that attracts HOSP. |
 | | If house sparrows are in your area, and you do not take steps to manage the population, the likelihood of successful nesting by native cavity nesters birds will be reduced. |
