    I read three sparrows in the title at first and I spent an uncomfortable amount of time looking for the third in the image.

    Non English native, is tree sparrow the way they are called? I only ever heard of sparrow before.

      @yyprum @DigitalAudio

      Eurasian Tree Sparrow is the full common English name of this species

      there are 2 large groups of sparrows, Old World & New World, your Eurasian Tree Sparrow is an Old World Sparrow while American Tree Sparrow is a New World Sparrow that is not too closely related

      so… yes … there are MANY kinds of sparrows + to add more confusion, non birders sometimes call any small brownish bird a sparrow

      I think it might be a popular spot for people to sit down and eat. Therefore, they’re accustomed to humans and waiting for scraps. I’m guessing they especially like bread because of how bold they were.
