the house sparrow nest has three to six eggs
Song Sparrows build a cup nest of weeds and grasses lined with hair and finer plant materials. The nest is often placed in a bush or small tree. Three to 6 eggs are incubated by the female for up to 2 weeks. Both parents care for the young who fledge in from one to 2 weeks. Song Sparrows may raise 2 or 3 broods in a breeding season.
Well sparrows lay there eggs in a nest in a tree just like birds because a sparrow is a bird.
The Cuckoo bird -- well, actually the cuckoo doesn't "steal" the nest, the female just lays her egg there and let's the original nest owners raise HER young. The Black-headed Grosbeak -- is known to steal parts & pieces of another bird's nest to construct her own. But Sparrows steal nests from Martins, sometimes forcing Martin eggs or even young ones out, letting them fall to the ground. Starlings, in turn, steal nests from Sparrows. The Brown-headed Cowbird also lays its eggs in another's nest and leaves others to raise its young. A mourning dove has been observed taking over a newly built Robins nest.
Sparrows are brownish or greyish birds.
House sparrows and wrens often compete with bluebirds for the same nesting house. Often time sparrows will break bluebird eggs or make another nest over the current bluebird nest.
yeahhh

No bluebird nest box is sparrow proof. You can however discourage sparrows from nesting there. Avoid places next boxes close to barns, feedlots, and farmsteads. These provide plenty off cover for sparrows. Sparrows may not like nest boxes made of PVC pipe because the interior is circle. They also dislike slot boxes.
Never known of a bluebird crawling, it would be difficult..To exclude house sparrows, make the entrance hole around one and a quarter inches across..Also, place the nest box no higher than five feet from the ground, sparrows won't nest so low.
Yes - that is what happened to a house martin's nest on our house. The sparrows took over and hatched two babies. Sadly though the nest collapsed and it and the babies ended up on the lawn. So disaster.
No they build a new nest for each brood. However they may use the same nest site year after year.
You can protect it by giving it a place to nest and protecting it from sparrows who will harass it.
This is a tricky question to answer. Sparrows are hard to get rid of. But you can try these simple to do's. First, try putting reflecting ribbons on the nest or where the birds are nesting. This ribbon or tape can easily be bought at the 99 cents store and you can see your reflection in it. Second, you can touch the nest. Birds will not come to a nest that has the human scent on it. Third, if all of these ideas haven't worked than get a little or big brother or strong male that isn't afraid to shoot the sparrows when they are at there nest. Good luck!! if none of these work remember the sparrows are just trying to go green! tee hee :0)
Bats, squirrels, mice, and sparrows all nest in roof structures.
