[Photos By: KPA]
Here are busy house sparrows setting up their nests above a small store. The male's colors are a combination of brown, grey and white, while the female's are shades of brown. They seem unperturbed by the human traffic. The only thing they object to is if said humans stands too long under their abodes. I've done this, trying to get a photograph, and what I get is an earful of the territorial claims by the feisty males.
In the top photograph, the male is inside the nest, but he is holding a piece of straw, building the nest. In the bottom, is is the female, who is normally hidden in the nest, who has flown out. I haven't yet seen any chicks yet.
Here is the sound of the male:
And information.
