Birds of Kentucky: How many House Sparrows?
2018-06-25 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Pen
A flutter of sparrows touched down in the backyard. They were moving quickly, and there were too many to fit in a single camera shot, although we think we spotted at least 9 in this frame alone.
Wikipedia has this to say about Passer domesticus: "Because of its numbers, ubiquity, and association with human settlements, the house sparrow is culturally prominent. It is extensively, and usually unsuccessfully, persecuted as an agricultural pest. It has also often been kept as a pet, as well as being a food item and a symbol of lust, sexual potency, commonness, and vulgarity." Comments | Permalink
