[1] This article may be useful in future just to back up someones edit to the mail article. I hestate to put it in the main article as i am not sure of this statement. "Professor Gary Rose, of the University of Utah, US, found that white crown sparrows learned a complete song, in the correct order, despite only ever hearing overlapping segments of it." Remind me of another story about a dog that turned out to be very problematic
- That article is about a New World sparrow. This article is about Old World sparrows. --Evice 23:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Moved the Sparrows in Literature section back here from House Sparrow, since it concerns sparrows generically, and this is where you would naturally think to find it. Oliverkroll 21:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lifespan?
What is the average lifespan of a Sparrow?
[edit] Online art store link
The link that has been repeatedly added to this article, while possibly well intentioned, is link spam. It should not be included under WP:EL. If you think I am wrong, please make your case here. Be prepared to state what the link adds to the article that would not be redundant if Sparrow were brought up to featured article standards. --Selket Talk 08:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- The link has only been added twice, as far as I can see, and only to this article. If it becomes persistent, then I think the assumption of good faith looks a little shaky, and I'll take steps to prevent it. jimfbleak 08:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sparrows as food
I'm not sure which species it is that is consumed, but I'm assuming it's House Sparrow since they are fairly commonplace. This occurs in China and Japan, but I don't want to put anything in the articles without knowing for sure which species it is. Robin Chen 04:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Most common?
Article should answer the question: Is this the most common bird worldwide? Tempshill 17:06, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- The most common wild bird is Red-billed Quelea, most common including non-wild is chicken, 05:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
