WHAT DO HOUSE SPARROWS LOOK LIKE
Male sparrows feature a black throat, a black V-shape patch on the breast, and a dark gray tail and crown. Females sparrows have the similar pattern but with duller brown and tan colors throughout. You can also recognize house sparrows by their song – a series of single-note chirps.
Breeding for house sparrows begins usually in March, allowing them to claim nesting spots before native birds arrive during spring migration, and can continue until August.
A pair of mated sparrows may raise up to four broods each year, with as many as six eggs at a time. Exponential population growth has allowed these birds to expand their range across North and Central America. You want to make sure to have someone come in and humanely deter the birds from hanging around you home or business without doing them harm. You don’t want to hurt the birds, so a bird exterminator is not what you want or need.
