 | S.O.S Save Our Sparrows At Gardenbirdfeeder we stock both wooden and woodcrete nestboxes especially designed for the sociable Sparrow.House Sparrow- Relies heavily on people for food and shelter and is a very communal bird choosing to eat, bathe, fly and preen in groups rather than being solitary. Colonies can be from 10 pairs to 1,000's, but the latter are getting increasingly rare to such an extent it is on the critical list of the BTO (British Trust for Onithology) most at risk. Tree Sparrow- Shy and the rarer of the two but not dependant on humans they are hedgerow birds and the fact they are declining indicates the decline of their habitat in the hedgerow. They will also use farm outbuildings and nestboxes if provided. |
