"Neither ever did anything to me worth killing them for."
I have to disagree with your statement, at least when it comes to house sparrows. These birds are not native to North America and have greatly reduced birds that are indigenous to North America. They stay in an area year round and have their nests built (and possibly eggs laid) before the migrating birds have a chance to get into the area. They are mostly grain thieves and do really nothing to keep bug or mosquito population down. The house sparrow was introduced on the east coast in 1851 and within 50 years had reached the Rockies. I have a bluebird house on my mail box post. Early this Spring, I pulled a completed sparrow nest out of it about every other day until the bluebirds showed up. When the bluebirds finally did arrive, you could hear the sparrow and bluebird fighting inside of the bird house to rule over the rights of who got to stay. I currently have five blue bird eggs in my bird house, but the bluebird pair had to really fight to keep their nest. About the only good thing a house sparrow is good for is cat food.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
