House Sparrow
Offer grains & seeds like millet, cracked corn, and sunflower seeds.
Scatter some food on the ground, as sparrows are comfortable feeding there.
Use bird feeders with multiple perches to accommodate groups.
Provide kitchen scraps like bread crumbs or cooked rice (in moderation).
Place a shallow birdbath for drinking and bathing.
Keep the water clean and refilled daily.
Add a small fountain or dripper to attract more birds.
Install nesting boxes or birdhouses with a small entrance hole (1.5 inches wide).
Place the boxes at least 6-10 feet above ground for safety.
Leave some dense shrubs or hedges where sparrows can build nests.
Allow natural cavities in buildings, roofs, or trees for them to settle.
Plant bushes, shrubs, or small trees for cover.
Avoid excessive use of pesticides to keep their insect food source intact.
Keep cats and other predators away from nesting areas.
Allow grassy lawns or patches of bare soil where they can forage.
Leave straw, grass, or twigs near nesting areas for them to build nests.
Avoid using harmful chemicals or repellents in your garden.
By following these steps, you can successfully attract and support House Sparrows in your area!
