House Sparrow
Sparrows are key players in the food chain. While adults usually eat seeds and grains, they're also known to eat insects, which helps with pest control. In fact, they even helped save New York City's trees when they were being destroyed by green inch worms!
The house sparrow is a bird of the sparrow family Passeridae, found in most parts of the world. A small bird, it has a typical length of 16 cm and a weight of 24–39.5 g. Females and young birds are coloured pale brown and grey, and males have brighter black, white, and brown markings.
