How many protected animals are sparrows?

Sparrows have very strong reproductive ability and adaptability: a pair of sparrows can breed three or four nests a year in Beijing, and each nest has three or four birds. Its habitat is 300-2500m above sea level. Most of them live in human settlements, towns and villages, valleys, orchards, rocky grasslands, front and back houses and trees on the roadside. Sparrows are omnivorous birds, which mainly feed on the seeds of Gramineae plants in summer and autumn. Young birds are mainly insects that harm Gramineae plants, mostly Lepidoptera pests. Therefore, in addition to food crops, sparrows also feed on pests, which solves the problem of pests and brings benefits to agricultural production.
