House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) **

The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is one of the most widespread and recognizable small passerine birds, thriving in urban, suburban, and rural environments across the world. It has a compact body, with males displaying a gray crown, black bib, and chestnut-brown upperparts, while females and juveniles are duller with brown and buff streaks. Highly adaptable, the House Sparrow is closely associated with human settlements, often nesting in buildings, under eaves, or in crevices. It feeds on a diverse diet, primarily consisting of seeds, grains, and scraps, but also consumes insects, especially during the breeding season. Known for its social and noisy behavior, this species is often seen in flocks, chirping energetically. Despite its global success, House Sparrow populations have declined in some regions due to habitat changes and pollution, making conservation efforts important in urban planning.
