House Sparrows are not native to North America but have been very successful here.
Unfortunately, House Sparrows are aggressive birds that can scare other birds away from your feeders.
Additionally, they can discourage other birds from breeding by nesting in woodpecker holes or nestboxes intended for other species.
We isolate the House Sparrows and keep them away from your other feeders by establishing a "comfort zone" for them on the perimeter of your feeding area.

A platform feeder like this Hexagon Feeders mounted close to the ground is the feeder styles of choice for sparrows. |
Fill your feeder with Mother Nature's Wild Bird Premium Mix or Mother Nature's Bonanza mix. These mixes, with a high concentration of millet, are favored by the House Sparrow.
Depending on where you live, several species of native sparrows can also be expected to
visit these ground feeding stations, especially during the spring and fall.
Other ground feeding birds that enjoy these mixes include the juncos, towhees, doves and finches. The addition of a birdbath or other water source will make your comfort zone complete.

This common little bird was introduced to North America in the middle of the 19th century. Like many introduced species, it competes vigorously with native birds for food sources and nesting sites.
