The
Song Sparrow is a member of the native Sparrow family along with
the Chipping Sparrow and
is thought to be our most widespread native species. Known for
its melodious vocalizations, the Song Sparrow is tolerant of
human presence. These birds eat insects, some weed and grass
seeds, and berries. The adult females build nests in spring and
summer. Some build their nests on the ground, while others build
them in bushes or trees. These birds are known to migrate at
night.
We received these birds after their nest was disturbed.
They were rehabilitated and finally released back into the wild. |
