About These Birds
House Sparrow
집참새는 아마도 세계에서 인간과 함께 가장 성공적인 새일 것이다. 처음에는 중동에서 기원했지만 인간의 교역로와 정착지를 따라 전 세계로 퍼졌다. 씨앗, 곤충, 음식물 쓰레기를 먹는 기회주의적 잡식성이다.

In the wild, these sociable parrots roost communally in large flocks and fly in pairs to feeding sites at dawn. Habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade threaten wild populations.
