Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.
This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.
This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.
When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.
Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).
Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.
They wanted my bread.
I read three sparrows in the title at first and I spent an uncomfortable amount of time looking for the third in the image.
Non English native, is tree sparrow the way they are called? I only ever heard of sparrow before.
There are many different species of sparrows. This is an Eurasian tree sparrow, but there are over 100 other species in the world.
Eurasian Tree Sparrow is the full common English name of this species
there are 2 large groups of sparrows, Old World & New World, your Eurasian Tree Sparrow is an Old World Sparrow while American Tree Sparrow is a New World Sparrow that is not too closely related
so... yes ... there are MANY kinds of sparrows + to add more confusion, non birders sometimes call any small brownish bird a sparrow
Lil cuties!
PSA: it's a tree sparrow if its hat is light brown, otherwise a house sparrow.
So these are indeed tree sparrows, right?
Sure looks like it
Great photo. Little dudes came right up to you, huh?
I think it might be a popular spot for people to sit down and eat. Therefore, they're accustomed to humans and waiting for scraps. I'm guessing they especially like bread because of how bold they were.
