Please note:

The English House sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a non-native species that was introduced into the United States from Europe. As a destructive invasive species it is trapped as a nuisance animal in all states to help preserve the habitat of native birds. This species is not protected by U.S. federal law unlike indigenous songbirds which are protected by the Migratory Bird Act.
