Watch how close it hops towards the camera. Aren't they tame? They've been our tenants on our roof top, who replaced a couple of Common Mynas (Acridotheres tristis), since we moved in.
The Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus) is approximately 12.5–14 cm long. Two distinct though narrow white bars cross the brown wings. The sexes are practically alike. The Tree Sparrow's call is a shorter chip, and the song, consisting of modulated chirps, is more musical. Their songs are said to be consistently in the key of G Major. A domed nest, like that of the House Sparrow, is sometimes built in the old nest of a Magpie or other bird. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_Sparrow
