House Sparrows build a tall nest of coarse grasses, often with pieces of scrap paper, cellophane, feathers, or other litter. The nest forms a canopy over the nest's cup which has a tunnel-like entrance. House Sparrows take over the nesting sites of other native cavity-nesting birds. It is prolific and ruthless. It will destroy Bluebird eggs, incubating adults, and nestlings, sometimes building its own nest right on top of the bodies of its victims. |
