House Sparrow

The House Sparrow, known in some communities as the Passer domesticus, is a small songbird that populates North America. This is one of the most adaptive birds in the world. It has successfully survived in urban areas and farming areas by associating itself with humans. They live among humans, within manmade structures and aggressively defending their homes against threats. They feed on seeds and insects and even from waste material (crumbs) found in human garbage. These spastic and incredible little birds can be found all over campus. Though small, they are resourceful survivors. I love watching them fly around.
