Cat TV Episode 12~ Provide food & help Save Sparrow Birds ~ South Africa


House Sparrows are noisy sparrows that flutter down from eaves and fencerows to hop and peck at crumbs or birdseed. Look for them flying in and out of nest holes hidden behind shop signs or in traffic lights, or hanging around parking lots waiting for crumbs and picking insects off car grills.
House Sparrows have lived around humans for centuries. Look for them on city streets, taking handouts in parks and zoos, or cheeping from a perch on your roof or trees in your yard. House Sparrows are absent from undisturbed forests and grasslands, but they’re common in countryside around farmsteads.

Laughing Doves create monogamous pairs that last for life. They breed allyearround and nests situated in shrubs and trees that stand between 3 and 15 meters above the ground. The nest is built by the female alone—a flimsy platform made of twigs, roots, stems, and other plant materials brought by the male. The female Laughing Dove lays two white eggs, which will be incubated by the female alone for two weeks. These little doves can be sighted across Africa, the Middle East, and several parts of Asia, particularly in SubSaharan Africa, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India. This species was introduced to Perth, Australia in 1889.
