Sparrows
What do sparrows look like?
Adult sparrows grow to be about 6-1/4 inches in length from the tip of their bill to the top of their tail, and they weigh about 1 ounce. The sparrow’s appearance varies depending on whether it's a male or a female.
Males
The male sparrow’s head is gray with whitish cheeks, and they have a single white wing bar. The topside of a male’s body is chestnut brown, while their underside is a lighter grayish-tan. The throat and upper breast is black.
Females
The topside of the female sparrow’s body is tan, and they have dark reddish-brown wings. The underside of their body is lighter tan. The female’s bill is a shade of yellow, and they have pale eyebrows.
Where are sparrows found?
Much like rodents that enjoy easy access to food and water sources, sparrows often are found close to people. Males build their nests out of sticks, grass, straw, string, fabrics, and similar materials that they find. Sparrows prefer to build their spherical nests in closed places in Quad City like gutters, down spouts, vents, soffits, roof overhangs, and behind shutters and siding. If left no other option, they may build their nest in a tree.
What do sparrows eat?
Sparrows have a varied diet, eating basically whatever they come across. They eat seeds from bird feeders, scraps from unsecured garbage cans, grains, fruit, vegetables, and the occasional insect.
