I RARELY SEE HOUSE SPARROWS IN MY YARD

I took these awhile back.  They are  birds that prefer to hang out near restaurants and drive thrus - grocery stores, anywhere that people have food around. 

When I've read about them  at Wikipedia ....it is said they pretty much stay away from humans and feeds mostly on seeds, grains and bugs.  What !?!

Some one needs to set the record  straight and tell them to stop hanging out near the MacDonald's drive thru.   I do believe they love french fries.

............................

Then here is another description found at "All About Birds" ...someone is wrong - now who is it??

"Habitat of the House Sparrow
Some of the natural habitats that they live in include forests, meadows, grasslands, deserts, desert edges, woodlands, and more. The vast majority of their population lives in urban areas."

Personally I go with the definition at All About Birds.  Whichever one is right, who knows but I like them for their beautiful feather patterns.

Sparrows are opportunistic when it comes to food.
