The house Sparrow is an introduced species now found throughout southern Canada and all of the United States. It is native to Eurasia and North Africa and has been introduced on all continents and many islands.
According to the Audubon Society the entire North American population is descended from a few birds released in Central Park, New York City, in 1850, and then spread to many towns and farms in the settled parts of the country, and quickly multiplied.
They are common in most populated areas and are gregarious - living in flocks, especially in winter. They are also known as the English Sparrow.
