\"\"\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Sparrows are one of the most overpopulating bird species on our planet.\u00a0 House sparrows, in particular, like to\u00a0inhabit in urban and agricultural areas; in fact, they are the only bird species willing to dwell with human beings, thereby giving rise to various problems posed by such coexistence.<\/p>\n

House sparrows basically\u00a0love to feast on what we feast.\u00a0 They love to eat human discarded\u00a0edibles other than seeds and\u00a0grains.\u00a0 Hence, such eating preference has brought upon them\u00a0antipathy\u00a0from\u00a0humans as a result of their annoying behavior of picking up leftover food waste from the garbage dumps outside of restaurants, residential houses, and the like.\u00a0\u00a0 Many times we can even see these oscine\u00a0finches hanging around the streets or collecting dead insects, moths and crumbs\u00a0on the road that can\u00a0only\u00a0bring about\u00a0inconveniencies on the drivers, plus, they always leave a mess on tar roads and around\u00a0dumpsters.\u00a0 Notwithstanding their craving for insects and other pests which is advantageous to us households, the sparrows\u00a0have, on the other hand, been categorized by us as pests themselves!<\/p>\n

House sparrows can be the source of noise pollution too.\u00a0 These songbirds\u00a0have the habit of chirping and singing their award-losing songs\u00a0\u00a0in the wee hours of morning when most of us are still sound asleep.\u00a0 Believe me, the chirping tune is vexatious to the extent that it can cause long-term migraine!\u00a0 All in all, the melody of a sparrow\u00a0does nothing good except as a cost- and energy-saving\u00a0natural alarm clock.<\/p>\n
