In the terrestrial ecology courses I have taken for my Environmental Science degree, we have identified house sparrows to be extremely damaging to local species. Their beaks are tough so they usually win fights with other local species, often killing the parents and taking the nest site.

Thanks Shawn, I really need this. I battle these birds every year. They make nests right above pedestrian doors at my house and constantly drop poop. One bird alone has had three consecutive nests with about 5 chicks per next. It was trying to build a 4th. Finally I went to battle with it, every time it put up some material, I took it down. This went on all day long every 15 minutes. But by the next day it gave up and moved over to my shed. At least it was not in my face constantly. This has been an annual ritual. No more.

[@Andy-hi9do]

In my neighborhood, they don't live very long we got tons of ally cats which feast on these guys day and night... I feel kinda bad for them even though they aren't native. I raised one before when I was a kid, a male. They have tons of personality, even when I released him outside(wild) he'd comeback every night and sleep in the patio. He didn't really associate with the other sparrows instead he hung out with my parakeets and learned to speak parakeet.

[@RumMonkeyable]

OMGosh, Shawn, this video is perfect timing for me. I have the "Invasion of the Nesting House Sparrow" on my porch....which now needs to be cleaned everyday, AND, the noise these little birds make is extremely ANNOYING. I just ordered the Sparrow Trap Door, and it will be arriving next Friday. I ordered one with the audio module, as well. Can't wait to be free of these pesky critters. THANK YOU for posting this very helpful video. 👍👊😍❤️️

[@Billhatestheinternet]

Look up the Van Eck sparrow trap. It uses an already existing bird house, and booby traps it. Bird goes in, and door closes behind it. You use the bag as you did, and if it's friendly, turn it loose. If not, lights out. Probably cheaper, and definitely less cumbersome.

[@BalaenicepsRex3]

I used to consider these sparrows very cute, but now I've confirmed my suspicion that they're invasive. I like watching birds, so I noticed when this species arrived in my city; they definitly weren't here before. Great video, Shawn. Keep it up!

[@FallInCS]

Great video, good way to catch the sparrows. We have a major problem with those buggers where I live. Our neighbour has bird feeders all over his property and feeds them throughout the year. After like 1-2 years these pests have risen to a population of about well over 200 birds. Since they get their food effortless and all the time, they stay between like 3-4 houses and sit on the trees around it. Everything is getting popped on. We hardly see any other birds around. Years back, we had many different types of birds. I would like to catch them but the laws here in Switzerland forbid to do that. This is an example of very false love for nature and animals. The neighbour might have good intentions, but he only creates a bigger problem and helps to get other bird species to go extinct.

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

That sounds like hell on earth to me... ugh, I feel bad for you. I assume they are invasive where you live? If so, I can't believe they won't make a law making it ok to kill them, especially what they are doing to your local bird population. I can't stand their incessant chirping! Maybe you should bring your lawmakers to your house!

We used to keep birds as pets when we were kids, we had a variety o them. The sparrow was like the rat bird, no one ever wanted to keep these, and they wouldn't live much if kept captive. They are everywhere in South America, at least in Argentina, in much higher numbers than other birds. They use to make nests below houses roofs so they are quite invasive and destructive. It's true that they are less scared of humans than other birds. Glad you dispatched one! The only other ubiquitous and aggressive bird I know of is the vanellus chilensis (tero), those guys are meaner.

Here in Nijmegen the sparrow population tends to swell to large numbers once every few years, and then dwindle to the point of being nearly extinct again. This year their population is numerous to the point that they've driven off every other local bird, including "big" birds like magpies, crows and pidgeons, within the last month and a half. They're cute little things to watch but everything on my balcony is now covered in a thick crust of sparrow poop, so I am kind of rooting for the magpies to get their act together and drive the little buggers off again.

Yes I’m sure your trophy room is very impressive where do you keep the duckling display is it next to the kittens

Today I learned sparrows are an invasive species in the US Ty Shawn

[@wolfpackflt670]

I shoot those things along with starlings all the time, no mercy.

@9600GTMAN Yes! Where I live, the deer will come into the yards and eat the newly planted flowers and vegetables if they are not protected by a deer fence or covering. And this is in an urban area of 170,000 people!

[@McNugget_Buddy]

@@LiLi-or2gm Try planting some Lavender in with the flowers. Deer hate lavender for some reason.

[@ikbendusan]

time to shoot em

[@Safarichromosomeslol]

@9600GTMAN I live in Hungary and I haven't heard about that. Like, seriously, nothing at all. I only know about overgrowing mouflons populations in some National Parks or the wild boars that are roaming around human settlements. Which is of course, not surprising

[@davidrojo201]

Thanks to this video now i know those birds that always visited my house to steal the food of my dog and fight against other birds, including ravens, arent welcome anymore.

Plot twist: the recorded sparrow was saying "get the hell outta here"

[@MPH_1993]

They run my purple martins off every year. Finally had enough and went on a killing spree with a 22 long rifle. I don’t even want to know how many I took out

[@Acroflame]

Holy guacamole

[@oliviapotter9491]

I would love to see more sparrow traps. Perhaps next time you could do a funnel trap like Mackeson3 suggested.

[@jamesdobrovnik]

Where did you get the electronic sparrow call? Our native blue birds are gone now because of them and now they’re ravaging the Purple Martins. It’s horrible.

[@deepak2049]

Sparrow is native in India, sadly it has disappeared from urban areas...haven’t seen one in years...

Never knew invasive mice have wings! Chines really know how to create things no one ever seen!

Every year those things would nest in my attic. And every year one of them would get lost in my attic. I have a hole next to the furnace where they would sometimes fall and sit there cheeping. It was annoying I would have to catch them, and release them. last spring I decided that I would shove steel wool into the hole they were getting in. It has been wonderfully silent this year.

[@FishKepr]

Same here. I found the holes they were using to get in and replaced the screens. No more sparrows. I imagine they could rip out steel wool though.

[@carlavaneeden8383]

When I read the title I imagined a home infested with birds inside, lol XD

[@pietperske3583]

There are millions of them, the neighbour's cat is more effective than this thing.

[@martine1184]

Maybe I missed it, but how does he "humanely" kill them before leaving out for raccoons and such? We lost bluebirds to these pests and they are trying to take a wren's nest. We don't want the house sparrows so we took the nestboxes down which is upsetting. I'm interested in what's shown here in his video!

[@mutestingray]

Maybe pump gas into the bag?

[@Dolly-dj2yb]

*before the video even starts* please don’t kill him, please don’t kill him! 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@johnbrown1860]

Fun fact about starlings, since they were mentioned in the video. Someone introduced them to Central Park in New York in the 1880s because they had some crazy plan to introduce every bird mentioned by Shakespeare to the US. Now we literally have like a hundred million of them.

[@biggusdiggus3337]

Can't believe you done that sparrows are getting quite rare over here in the UK from where they originated from just think they flew all that way. How amazing is that.

[@mylt1z28]

They didn' fly to the US, they were brought here and introduced to try and combat linden moths in 1852.

[@timl.b.2095]

When my dad was a kid in the 1920's (!) in Michigan, they used to get two cents a head for house sparrows from some level of government, though I'm not sure which one. And I do mean just the head. They called them "spatzies," which I see with a little googling is a more widespread term than I thought (from the German for sparrow).

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

I was thinking about giving the neighbor kid $5.00 a head because I hate these birds so much... how times have changed!

[@HRTribute]

Thanks for the bird trapping video Shawn! In Australia we have house sparrows and Myna's both are terrible for our natives. Bird trapping vids are great inspiration.👍

[@edstar83]

Where? I'm in Sydney, in the 80's and 90's I used to see them everywhere as a kid. I don't think I've seen one in 15 years if not longer. Myna's I still see everywhere though. I like these little guys and they're endangered in Europe.

[@squirrelrocket_official]

Shawn great video. I get calls for bird removal from supermarkets and big box stores all the time and usually tell them I don't have a treatment for catching birds. Now I have a solution. Thanks!

[@jaedengarcia8249]

Hey Shawn I was just thinking about bird traps or deterent, pigeons are a big problem nesting up on the roof and under solar panels. It would be cool if you could do a video for that in the future! Thanks for the videos!

[@PinkisaBlackmag]

I feel so bad for the little bird, I feed them a lot, too. But we have to be responsible, even if it means controlling an invasive species

[@swaydragon32]

Imagen if mouses had wings. Oh wait.
