Identifying Sparrows
The House Sparrow, the prevalent sparrow species in Tennessee, shares its habitat with a newcomer known as the song sparrow, which is present in specific areas of the state. Exhibiting distinct features, the House Sparrow displays streaked red to black markings on its back and white cheeks, with its female counterpart showcasing a predominantly brown hue complemented by a visible eye-stripe. These sparrows primarily feed on grass seeds and specific insects.
Problems and Damages Caused by Sparrows
Sparrows are a common sight in yards, often due to their preference for nesting in or on building structures. Their preferred nesting spots typically include vents around homes, roof returns, and even gaps in trim. It's important to identify and remove sparrow nests, as they frequently host various parasites, including bed bugs, lice, and ticks. Additionally, sparrows can carry diseases such as Toxoplasmosis, Coccidiosis, and Salmonellosis. While not all sparrows carry diseases, any scratches or bites should be promptly treated by a medical professional.
