1. Introduction to Sparrow:

Passer: it is a general term for 27 small birds of Sparrow. They are similar in size and color. Generally, the upper body is brown and black, so it is commonly known as sparrow.

There are 9 primary flight feathers, and the pale feather edges of the outer flight feathers (except the first one) are slightly enlarged at the base and proximal end of the feathers, and they are slightly crossed into two transverse spots, especially when flying. The mouth is short, thick and strong, conical, with a slightly curved peak. Except for the tree sparrow, both sexes are different colors.

There are 27 species in the world, 5 of which are distributed in China. It is quite widely distributed. Except the extremely cold North and South poles and alpine deserts, they are distributed all over the world.

Second, the living environment:

Sparrows are active in places where people live. They are extremely lively, bold and approachable, but they are very alert and curious. Many people nest in human houses, such as eaves and wall holes, and sometimes occupy the nests of domestic swallows. In the wild, they nest in tree holes.

Sometimes they can be found nesting in individual trees, but sparrows are in groups in four seasons of the year. Old trees with many holes are usually their favorite nesting sites.

Sparrows are very gregarious birds except for breeding and brooding. In autumn, it is easy to form a large group of hundreds or even thousands of birds, which is called sparrow flooding. In winter, they form a dozen or dozens of small groups that move together.

This little creature is very clever and alert, and has a strong memory, which is different from many other small sparrows. For example, a sparrow that has been rescued by others will show a kind of closeness to those who have helped it, and it will last for a long time.

In places where sparrows live in concentration, when there are invasive birds, they will show great unity until the intruders are driven away. Sparrows tend to be very brave when brooding.
