Wagga should join that :D though not a house sparrow he has.Imo,those little house sparrows are quite pretty,if they weren't flying wild around here they would make a nice aviary addition if we couldn't get them in this country,They're just brown song sparrows :lol: Craig

Wagga should join that :D
:wave:

They are indeed a beautifully marked bird. Just have to wait and see if my pair will go to nest, extremely shy birds, next season?

Just looked at the link and pressed on sparrows of the world. Number 4 looks a bit poorly!

Some quite nice looking birds there. But yes the "Dead" sea sparrow does look a little dead.
