-- Hello all
I believe the success of birds such as Sparrows and Starlings is down to
curiosity and opportunism. This was well illustrated today when I
watched a H.Sparrow peer inside our shed, through a 6 inch opening, to
find out what the Welcome Swallows were doing in there. (They are
nest-site hunting).The sparrow went away after a good look but I'm sure
it would have come inside if it saw food!
I suspect human-friendly Aussie opportunists, such as Galahs and
Magpies, would become pests if introduced into other countries?
