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.
Abd al Kuri Sparrow
The Abd al Kuri Sparrow is a vulnerable sparrow endemic to a tiny remote island in the Indian Ocean, weighing about 23g. It is among the world's rarest sparrows due to its extremely limited range.
