House sparrows are not protected by law. It is legal to keep and raise a house sparrow. I have two. I have raised them from 5 days old. I have 19 birds total. 13 Cockateils, bronze wing pionus, cockatoo, blue and gold macaw, a European starling, and two house sparrows.

I have found that the sparrows are the least messy of the birds. If you should get the chance to find a baby sparrow and wish to feed and care for it. You can not release it to the wild when old enough. There is no way you can teach them the way of the wild like the parent birds. You can not teach them how to find food, predator's, or native speech. Therefore if you do release these wonderful little birds they will die.

Their life span is 15 years. Some have been known to live longer in captivity.

But I don't mind caring for them as the joy and love returned is greater than any time money and effort I put out.

Also something most people don't know about the European Starling is they can learn speech and will make every noise they hear. Piglet already talks allot.
