House Sparrow Song

Some House Sparrows chirrup to each other on the edge of a canal.

My orphan hedge sparrow Noel ( found day before Christmas ) loves this - she has only one wing and a club foot but was saved and she brings great joy to our household AND she survived with care and love as lots told me she wouldent. THX to the lady onthe net who saved her one and gave me hope she is now 6 months old - this is awesome for her as she sings all day!

[@ladytsusami2294]

this is my parakeet B.B.'s favorite video makes her chip & chip but listening to parakeets makes her get all quiet LOL

[@DivineScheme]

Sounds more like he saying 'cheap, cheap' haha :)

[@TheMantisOfPraying]

Actually, this was very useful to me, because I have a baby bird that fell out of its nest. It's a house sparrow and I had to teach it its song because if you don't early on, then they'll never learn and thus become incapable of living in a group. So to answer your question, I guess it was to help people like me.

[@denises1062]

And I thank you for it :) I was looking for this bird song and this is a great clip!

[@qualqui]

yeah, same here in Kerétaro, Mexico, seems they tend to adapt more easily to livin' with people, whereas robins, mockingbirds and other songbirds are very rare, one because of the pet trade and two, habitat loss. we feed 'em soaked tortillas and along with the wild doves, they really go for the tortilla!

[@annnydam6502]

I played the computer bird sounds to a sparrow sitting on the roof outside. It was so funny to see the reaction. Thanks to whomever recorded this.

[@Mikey7889]

around my area we have a lot of these mourning doves blackbirds and robins

[@coobls911]

i adopted a baby house sparrow, i think this video keeps her calm

[@FrackMeister]

I played this wile my cat was in the room, and she went crazy!

[@Sinskita]

@MrDenizen Why? Because when I play it my cat runs through the house looking out every window trying to figure out where they are. Best video EVER!

[@Rock1554]

They are very nice birds to know, So Adorable too.........

[@Rock1554]

Very Adorable Video! So Cute!

[@sphagbog]

... because someone like me might be learning how to identify birds by their call. Today I am sitting listening to a bird through my open window. Last night I listened to chainsawbeks' youtube clip of the sparrow. I think the bird I can hear today is probably a sparrow , so I play the clip again to check ... and yes it is. Thank you very much chainsawbeks for this and all the other bird song clips you have posted. ... next I'm going to learn cloud formations!

[@ConnieFoster1]

My bird loves this

[@desireefairooz]

This made me smile! You have a way with words, Mostafa : )

[@AmethystiaBloodraven]

Well said. And I for one happen to like watching 'cloads' float by as well. People that take the time to appreciate the beauty of nature - whether the songs and looks of birds, or the clouds in the sky - tend to be much more relaxed. It's a great way to reduce stress. Thank you for taking the time and having the consideration to post such videos, chainsawbeks. Sharing knowledge and beauty is never a 'why bother' situation; it's a gift to those who know how to appreciate it.

[@chainsawbeks]

Could be - I just happened to pass these ones on the canal as I floated past!!

[@revolp69]

ahhhh..the quack was great.

[@earthsong54]

Thank you for the video. I home school and it was helpful in our study on sparrows.

[@HarpsiFizz]

My cat really likes these, Thank you.

[@infinitecanadian]

House Sparrow to audience: 'Ahem! All right. Get ready for it. This is it! The best bird song in the world! 3...2...1...:Chirp!'

[@VideoParkSuperstore]

love these little birds and never knew what they were. hear their sound a thousand times, but now that you posted a video, i have learned something. thanks!

[@timjmillea3257]

Thanks. I found this really useful. I wanted to make an analogy in a piece of writing and needed the right bird to use, now I know what a sparrow sounds like I know it's not the right one. :)

[@dizzo95]

Something is killing the common house sparrow like the honey bees. Notice the sparrow scratching itself.- is it infested with mites or something ? It's sad that the common house sparrow population has crashed . As a kid my grandma used to feed dozens of sparrows and starlings scrap table food in the 1970s. In the 2000s I feed the crows and squirrels - a racoon - skunk and the grey fox but only a few starlings and house sparrows live in my city park - home.

[@pulvaris]

HEY! when I play this video it gets a major reaction from my Budgie! I have a flock of twenty five-ish that visit me each day to eat the fat balls I leave out for them daily on my windowledge! I love lil birds :)

[@javakogan]

I love sparrows, especially this little guy...

[@TheVagabondWolf]

they say "ei!"

[@Paedobaptism]

@butchuk2007 In my property we have many of these guys. I put many feeders on the tree next to my room and you are right I live waking up to the sound of them chirping away. I put the feeders just for them, little guys do eat alot.

[@SilentThunder8]

Great video... love the quack at 9 seconds in the background :D

[@skeletonbite]

I'm outside, I played this video for some house sparrows around me, they came close and looked at me like "huh!?"

[@Brbara30]

nice song ans nice video 5 stars

[@Knightwer]

I am also raising a Sparrow.. She is ready to go Monday.. But no they don't learn how to talk.. Sparrows and fiesty and of few "words" Just work on getting it to eat! On its own! Its such a challenge sometimes.

[@navmantogo]

Nice video

[@StowAlex]

NICE VIDEO

[@WickedMuis]

I miss them :(

[@chainsawbeks]

Thanks, glad it was of use!

[@chainsawbeks]

@MrDenizen Point taken but why bother - because not everyone knows its a House Sparrow or what it sounds like. Most of my bird videos are to show the bird and its song!!! Thats the whole point - its an identification thing.

[@Sanaven]

he is huge!!

[@chainsawbeks]

This was taken in near Shropshire on the canalside. I live in Cumbria north england.

[@EvertheWise]

thats a male house sparrow right....i have small little house sparrows who visit me in the afternoon. every time i sit down to relax on the stairs. there is this one pacific house sparrow who will always fly down towards me to say hello XD they are awesome

[@simbirdcom]

Excellent ! very useful for me to ID House Sparrows from their calls :-)

[@chainsawbeks]

@klb084 Im not really a fan of the Sparrow - they do make a lot of noise here and when they are around there are so many of them!! However, the whole point of my video was to capture the song with the bird - whether I like it or not!

[@chainsawbeks]

Thats pretty cool!

[@WeAreBullets]

haha those house sparrows are little beasties, i calle em Brooklyn sparrows, cause some people think they came to america through brooklyn, and also cause they are the gangsters of the small birds lol

[@chainsawbeks]

Great - that's what i hoped it would be for!!

[@chainsawbeks]

Yep this is a House Sparrow!

[@AkaneKageno]

These are my favorite kind of bird, they're so cute! I love their chirping.

[@The_Big_Dawg]

Recording sparrows chirrupping is akin to recording cloads floating by in the sky. Why bother?

[@Oakleaf700]

Sparrows are on the endangered list. Sounds crazy, but they are in huge decline. I for one love the sound of sparrows. Much rarer than it was in the 1960's when sparrows nested in the eaves.

[@Dragonfable14924982]

my house sparrow went crazy when i played this

[@Rock1554]

Wow it is chriping at me! :D

[@chainsawbeks]

Yeah - there are loads here - but they are not as common as they used to be!!

[@jennaiello973]

That's how they chrip! Canyou talk to a house sparrow?

[@chainsawbeks]

Thanks!! It's a shame I didnt have my tripod with me though as it would have been more steady!!

[@klb084]

@chainsawbeks you can have them all back! lol. Most of us don't like them here. They kill our sweet little Eastern Bluebirds. Not to mention they wake me up at the crack of dawn with that ceaseless obnoxious chirping right by my window. If I scare them off they come back 20 minutes later. Drives me literally into madness.

[@paulineb66]

I like that their song is simple. They remind me of parakeets.

[@namburipavan5227]

so cute and innocent...but sorry that our future generations may not be able to hear their sweet morning calls...thanks to increasing usage of cell phones and indiscriminate high frequency cell towers...thanks to govt...it has atleast started working on this respect and gave some more life these bird

[@micz72]

@chainsawbeks Exactly! If you're gonna take that attitude MrDenizen then why bother doing anything? Why even bother watching the video at all? Oh yeah! So you can make a pointless negative comment that you shouldn't really have bothered typing! Anyway thanks chainsawbeks, yes it is an identification thing and I not only identified sparrow song but that MrDenizen is a complete pratt!

[@Duvmasta]

@freddyfast9 But they're sooooo cute!

[@chainsawbeks]

They are a problem in America - yes - they are not a native species over there. However they are an endangered species over here in England.

[@Borishal]

Best birds in the world. Anyone complaining about them will be struck with piles. And corns.

[@wynterwren]

I have two rescued house sparrows, and they're adorable, smart, affectionate, playful birds. People who complain that they're a murderous, invasive species might want to take a look at where they originated themselves, and what humanity's past has been like. If sparrows are killing indigenous North American birds, then the ones to blame are the people who brought them over here to begin with.

[@drail80s]

Sparrows are also creatures of God, beautiful in their own special way. They may be unpopular to many, but remember that humans are the most destructive habitants on earth, driving away and killing far more animals than others. My parakeets respond with special interest to the calls of house sparrows while ignoring most other bird calls. I'm not sure why this is but they really seem to take interest in house sparrows.
