Information about the House Sparrow:

The House Sparrow is a small bird about 6.3 inches long (16 cm) While it is native to Europe, it has expanded it range to include most parts of the planet. This is due to the bird’s amazing ability to adapt to human altered environment from densely populated cities, to rural and urban areas. It is highly skilled in finding food discarded by humans. While it is generally encountered in urban areas it will avoid forests, grasslands and deserts. They are very social birds, and are often found in flocks of several birds. In addition to feeding on food discarded by humans, House Sparrows will eat seeds, flower nectar and will even steal food from other birds.

Artist’s notes:

The House Sparrow illustration was completed on 5.21.2013. Of course, when I started out drawing various birds I was hardly inspired by the common, dull-colored sparrow. But as I drew more and more different types of birds, I became aware that simply because a bird is invasive or common, that doesn’t mean it’s not worthy of an illustration. And when I found a great reference photo by Don Delaney of this male House Sparrow, I decided to go ahead and create the drawing. I think sparrows are interesting and underrated birds now. They are lovely despite their commonness.
