About These Birds

House Sparrow

The house sparrow is perhaps the most successful bird in the world at living alongside humans. Introduced to New York in 1851, it spread across North America within decades. Despite its global abundance, house sparrow populations have declined significantly in parts of western Europe.

Arabian Golden Sparrow

The Arabian Golden Sparrow is a small finch-billed sparrow from the Horn of Africa and southern Arabian Peninsula, weighing about 14.5 grams with a wingspan near 12 cm. Males are strikingly yellow-green, making them among the most colorful sparrows in the world. They inhabit dry acacia scrubland and semi-arid savanna, feeding on seeds and small insects.
