A Popular Hobby
Watching and feeding birds is one of the most popular hobbies in North America. Whether you're a backyard bird watcher or an experienced naturalist, you'll enjoy the wonders of these natural beauties in our environment. Our birding departments are fully stocked with the equipment and foods you need to create the perfect backyard paradise for our winged friends. Song Sparrow
Although not a showy or colourful bird to look at, the song sparrow is colourful in its song. The male’s complex melody is used to establish and maintain its territory and to attract a mate. More commonly found in summer than winter, the song sparrow lives in marshy and brushy areas but also thrives in suburban neighbourhoods. Song sparrows and other sparrows also enjoy bathing in shallow water and birdbaths. Using a hopper or gazebo style feeder, offer safflower, black oil sunflower, and white millet to feed song sparrows in your backyard. 
Did you know? When a Song Sparrow enters a birdbath in summer, it scratches one or both ears at least once, usually several times during the operation. |
