How do sparrows feed?

In the initial feeding, you can soak the puppy food and cat food in water and feed them to the young birds, and then add the young bird food and corn and feed them to the young birds. Compared with adult dog food, canned puppy food and cat food have higher protein content, which is closer to the natural diet of young birds. When feeding food, you should mash it into paste and put it in a shallow bowl.

If the baby bird is too young to feed itself, you can divide the food into half the size of the fingernail and then feed it with tweezers. Add as many insects as possible to the cat food and puppy food. The natural diet of sparrows includes dry food such as shoots and seeds, as well as other small invertebrates such as spiders, snails, aphids and caterpillars. Young birds tend to eat these living things more than dry food.

Living habits

Sparrows are active in places where people live. They are extremely lively, bold and approachable, but they are very vigilant 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 rescued 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.
