Loud little bird

I was finally close enough to get this video of this loud little bird but it was on the other side of my screened porch so the image and video aren't as clear as I would like. These loud little birds dart around in weeds and bushes hunting for food, I'm guessing both insects and seeds. Does anyone know what kind of bird this could be?
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

That sparrow or finch is quite loud! I’m sure it caught Tuff’s attention.

@rebelann I know that sound extremely well! We used to call it cackling when Doodles the cat did it. Funny, he only did it when he saw birds.

It sounds like there is some problem for sure. It looks like a wren. The markings on the back look wrenish.

It looks like a house sparrow to me but I could be mistaken.

I'm betting you're right, they are the most common of birds

Certainly makes a lot of noise, but I don't know what kind it is.

I have no idea what it is but I hope you're able to get an answer.

A few lotters have mentioned sparrows and since those are the most common birds it probably is.

It probably is, I saw a couple videos of sparrows and wrens so from the sound of this fella it could be either.

Possibly a brown thrasher,,,they are native to your area I think..but not sure..I couldn't see the back to see if it had similar tail feathers.

I couldn't get a really clear video due to the screen door. Thanks for the idea, I'll check it out.

I don't know, but Nico would have been into it. As a matter of fact he ran out from the bedroom when he heard the video.

It looks like a sparrow to me-but I'm not exactly a bird expert.

Several other lotters have said the same thing so I'm thinkin all of you are right.
