 G'day all, 
Some time back, as part of a previous discussion on
this mailing list, no one could provide any statistics that sparrow had
displaced any native birds 
  
Urbanisation of Australia, has provided a new
habitat that the Sparrows have colonised  
  
Regards from Bob Forsyth Mount Isa, NW

  Extract-----  I find myself oddly pleased when I see excellent numbers of feral
  House Sparrows in our country towns these days.  
  Apart from the
  fact that they are a delightful and fascinating species, it's good to know
  that we are keeping them alive in case they become extinct in the UK.
