Short Description:

The house sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a small bird with a stout body, short tail, and chunky beak. Males have a distinctive black bib, gray crown, and chestnut nape, while females are duller with a buffy eyestripe. They are highly adaptable and commonly found in urban, suburban, and rural areas.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

House sparrows are widely distributed across Pakistan, inhabiting cities, towns, villages, agricultural lands, and human settlements throughout the country. They thrive in a variety of habitats, including parks, gardens, farmlands, and residential areas.

House sparrows are social birds that often form large flocks, especially during the non-breeding season. They are opportunistic feeders, consuming a varied diet that includes seeds, grains, insects, and scraps of human food. They are known for their adaptability to human-dominated environments and are frequently seen around buildings, feeding on crumbs and scavenging for food. House sparrows are cavity nesters and commonly breed in cavities or crevices in buildings, trees, or artificial structures. They have a rapid and undulating flight pattern and emit chirping calls throughout the day.
