HOUSE SPARROW SONG:
The SONG of a House Sparrow is not very complex, which makes it very easy to learn and recognize.
Listen for a series of monotonous chirping, which is made up of many shrill “cheep” and “chirrup” notes.
This simple song is mainly given by males, who repeat it nonstop, at almost any time of the year.

HOUSE SPARROW CALL:
The CALL of a House Sparrow is a repeated, monotonous “cheepcheepcheep.” It’s given by both males and females.
This noisy chirping is a way for House Sparrows to keep in contact with each other while resting or flocking. It can be quite loud when a group of House Sparrows gets together!

Native to Eurasia and North Africa, House Sparrows are now one of the most widespread and abundant birds in the world!

Listen closely next time you are watching the news, and they are reporting internationally. It’s common to hear House Sparrows chirping in the background no matter the location!

These adaptable birds owe their success to the fact they thrive living where other birds can’t, which is around humans!
