Sparrows build nests under roofs, under bridges or in tree hollows, or even on electric wires hanging in the air. At this time, the male sparrow will be responsible for building the nest and at the same time trying to seduce the females. Any female sparrow that agrees to mate with a male sparrow will build a nest together. However, this bird is proven to be unfaithful.

Sparrows breed in spring and summer, when the sun is warm and insects bloom. Female sparrows lay 3-5 eggs per clutch; The eggs will be incubated within 12-15 days. Both father and mother birds work together to care for the eggs and chicks. They look for worms and directly feed their baby sparrows. After 15 days of birth, baby sparrows will be able to leave the nest and fly normally.

Because young sparrows need high nutrition to grow quickly and have poor stomach function, unable to crush and digest seeds, mother sparrows are forced to use worms to feed their babies.

Sparrows are one of the most numerous birds in the world. From high-rise buildings in the city to fields in the countryside, we can see the presence of this bird everywhere.

Besides, because when they are young, the function of the digestive system is not fully developed, so the young sparrow’s stomach cannot digest fruits and hard grains. Therefore, mother sparrows are forced to find foods with high nutritional content and softness to feed their chicks, and foods that have all of the above elements are insects, locusts, grasshoppers…

However, it is not true that parent sparrows will feed their chicks with insects until adulthood, but will only use this food until the chicks can digest grains. At that time, they will begin to let their baby sparrows eat seeds.

In the wild, not only sparrows have this strange way of raising their children. Typically, in China there is a rare bird called the Sand-capped Hornbill , also known as the Rhinoceros . This is a bird that mainly eats fruit, but during the breeding season, parents often catch the young of other birds or small animals to feed their young.
