In my city, the Eurasian tree sparrow is the most common bird lurking around. They can be entertaining when seeing and hearing them chirping in the park. I used to walk around the park before this pandemic. In the neighborhood, they cannot just land on the ground since stray cats are waiting for them.
Are your whiskers good hunters of birds?
Are any birds seen in your place today?

@maezee I, myself are not that expert in identifying birdies in this world. I just sometimes rely on what I read and seen in books or on the Internet. Our local zoos are not that well-equipped in having these wild birds. But I had seen some of the native birds in my country.

I get the impression that bird knowledge is a bit thin on the ground in the US! On my only visit to the States - a few days in Baltimore in 2009 - I could find nobody who had any idea about the birds I was seeing. This was a shame, because your birds are completely different to the ones I see around me in the UK.

I often see this kind of bird here and back home. They usually mess up with the seeds I plant that is why I've put a nylon net over the vegetables I planted here. I had no success though with the grass seeds I planted because they just step on the net and eat the grass seeds.

@sunrisefan That's not a good thing. It needs to protect the land areas with seeds.

That is a cute bird. I only see the ones that land on my porch when I put out bread. The last one was a winter warbler that I wrote about and it is a migratory bird here

@Shavkat Yes. Sometimes the neck is red. Red neck bulbul is more common here.

In our place, sparrows are often seen as pests. Especially for farmers in suburban areas, because they often eat large quantities of rice grains in the fields that are starting to turn yellow. If they get caught or killed, they are usually fried and made into a side dish. Poor, right?

I saw white ones yesterday. I had to stop so they could cross the road, literally because they are THAT comfortable. No cat can eat them, because they're bigger than the cats.

We make a point of keeping our garden bird feeders well stocked, so get regular visits from house sparrows, jackdaws, starlings, blackbirds, woodpigeons and collared doves. Less regular visitors include wrens, robins, great t*ts, greenfinches and pied wagtails. We occasional see a sparrowhawk - and absolutely nothing else when this happens!
On my dog walk round the local fields yesterday I stood and watched a song thrush as it sang away, high on a tree. Other regularly seen birds on these walks include rooks, goldfinches, blue t*ts and long-tailed t*ts. One day last week I saw a little egret, at almost the same place that I saw one about three years ago.
(Apologies for the asterisks - an oddity of the software that cannot tell the difference between a perfectly acceptable word and a mild obscenity! Substitute the letter "i")

Nice photo of the sparrow. I have many types of birds which visit my backyard to eat at my bird feeder. Robins, Bluejays, Cardinals, Wrens, and Nut Hatch. Here is a photo of another bird visitor called a chickadee.
