Passeridae

Chloebia gouldiae · Least concern

John Gould named it in 1844 after his late wife, Elizabeth, though two French naturalists had described it some years before. Once in the hundreds of thousands, its wild population fell to 2,500 or fewer by the 1980s.

Passeridae

Passer montanus · Least concern

Americans know it as the German sparrow: the Eurasian tree sparrow was introduced to the United States. It is about 10% smaller than the house sparrow, with a chestnut crown and a black patch on each white cheek. It nests in tree holes, holes in buildings, or old magpie and white stork nests.

Passeridae

Passer domesticus · Least concern

No wild bird on Earth is more widely distributed than the house sparrow, and it owes that to people: carried on purpose or by accident to Australasia, Africa and the Americas, it lives almost always close to humans. It was among the first animals named in Linnaeus's system, in 1758.
