Sparrow

The sparrow belongs to the weaver family, and once the sparrow lived in Africa, then reached the Mediterranean countries, met people, and began its march around the world, and at the same time turning into a sparrow as we are used to seeing it. He no longer separated himself from people. Even when man began to populate Siberia - the sparrow followed him, the man mastered the tundra - and together with the people in the settlements, the sparrow found himself. In 1850, several pairs of sparrows were brought to America, and soon they firmly established there. Sparrows live independently, but very many live in the very immediate vicinity of a person. Sometimes, unexpectedly, a sparrow remembers that he is from the weaver family, famous nest builders, and tries to build something original, something like a ball with a pipe-shaped entrance. But this rarely happens. Usually sparrows arrange primitive nests and wherever they have to: under the roof of a house or under a cornice, behind a window frame or in an old drainpipe, under rafters or in the hollow of a tree growing in the garden. Sometimes he tries brazenly to seize a birdhouse or a swallow's nest (and sometimes the sparrow succeeds).
