மனிதர்களை சார்ந்து வாழும் பறவை சிட்டு குருவி

The house sparrow (Passer domesticus) has a long history intertwined with humans. Originating in the Middle East, it spread across Europe and Asia due to human activities, like agriculture and trade. Sparrows became associated with human settlements, thriving in urban environments, where they found abundant food sources and nesting sites. In the 19th and 20th centuries, sparrows were introduced to other parts of the world, including North America and Australia, where they quickly established themselves as invasive species. However, their populations have declined in some regions due to habitat loss and other factors, sparking conservation efforts to protect this once ubiquitous bird.
The relationship between humans and house sparrows goes back thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians and Romans revered sparrows, considering them symbols of love and fertility. In medieval Europe, sparrows were encouraged around human habitations for their insect-eating habits.
During the Industrial Revolution, sparrows benefited from the proliferation of grain stores and increased human populations in urban areas. They were so ubiquitous in cities that they became a nuisance, leading to efforts to control their populations.
In the 19th century, house sparrows were introduced to North America, Australia, and other regions as pest control agents, but they soon became pests themselves, outcompeting native bird species for resources.
In recent decades, house sparrow populations have declined in many urban areas due to changes in agricultural practices, urbanization, and the loss of nesting sites. Conservation efforts have been implemented to protect this iconic bird species.
