House Sparrow Biology
House sparrows only eat insects when their babies are young. During the rest of their lifespan, they enjoy a diet that includes grain crops, grain, and other seeds. They often begin breeding in March and may continue until August. A pair raise up to four broods every year, having as many as six eggs at a time. Sparrow eggs vary in colour from white to light blue. Each sparrow lays five to six eggs, and they require 10 to 14 days to incubate.
House Sparrow Behaviour, Diet, Habitat and Life Cycle
House sparrows prefer to nest in protected man-made or natural environments, such as openings in structures, gutters, signs and light fixtures. They will displace other birds from their nests and use it as their own. This bird species frequently nests in kitchens, bathrooms, ovens, and dryer vents. They will often reuse their nest if possible.
They mostly eat seeds and grains, including livestock feed. House sparrows living in the city are used to munching on commercial birdseed from bird feeders or discarded food from humans. They eat corn, wheat, oats, and sorghum. In the wild, theyโll eat grasses, crabgrass, ragweed and buckwheat.
Wondering How To Get Rid Of House Sparrows?
If youโre struggling to handle a residential or commercial sparrow problem, a professional pest control company can help. House sparrow removal starts with an inspection to determine the species, population size and the equipment required to get rid of them. After that, the correct removal techniques can be utilized, whether that involves common methods such as trapping, netting, and spike systems.
