Few people seem to get excited over these little brown birds like I do. This handsome boy will occasionally make an appearance on the roof of a local restaurant when we come visit. Today was one such day! I was very excited to see him! I always snap a photo if he shows.
I’d never heard the scientific name before, and I thought it sounded a little Pythonesque lol. I know them more so by (house) sparrow, and we have them in Canada too. Looking at their Wiki page, it looks like they’re pretty much everywhere. I wonder if they’re the most widely-distributed amongst the global human population bird. I find them very cute, especially when they dust-bath
They’ve handled the human problem by learning to adapt with us! Fascinating birds.
