In Siberia before the Russian colonization did not know the sparrows. In areas inhabited by hunting tribes that ate meat, and one who did not know bread, these granivorous birds had nothing to do. Since then, as farmers began to settle Siberia, there began to wade and the sparrow. Eastern Siberia and the north of the Ob basin sparrows were settled only at the beginning of the XVIII century. Together with the city or House Sparrow with the onset of winter comes on the outskirts of cities and in all human settlements close to his relatives - tree sparrow, which lives in summer, more in the fields, and roamed to shelter only from the beginning of winter. This can be read on the head reddish-brown color (the city is gray). On his throat is black nagrudnichek not going down as low as in the urban sparrow. The female sparrow is not very different from the male, except parotid black spot in her (also unlike the city) a little smaller than the male. On the wings of a sparrow two light strips, and at the town - one. With the first warm days of spring herald a close, the sparrows begin to behave very noisy, loud chirping, flying briskly, and the males become defiant and fighting. Courtship of females, fights rivals, worries about the new nests - all points to their spring mood. In late March Vorobyiha already sitting on nests, and field sparrows leave the city.
