Sparrow used to be a classic of Czech gardens and fields. Recently, however, his popularity has been declining. Why?
The domestic sparrow is such a “bird’s fart”. Brown, bland, with a length of about 16 centimeters. Originally it comes from the Middle East, but today it is widespread all over the world. “The life of the sparrows has been linked to humans for centuries and mostly builds nests near his dwellings,” says the ornithologist and recalls of 1851, when sparrows were artificially imported to the US to relieve the trees of harmful caterpillars. Birds initially acted as a natural pest purge, but then quickly reoriented to garbage bins, where they got food easier and its offer was more varied.

Loss of sparrows
Soon, these small sharks flooded American cities and became the same invasive immigrants as well as rats, rats or domestic mice. The insolence, adaptability and fearlessness of the sparrow has made him a bird street that makes plant seeds, destroys crops and transmits a lot of infectious diseases, including mites who can induce allergies or asthma. Still, it is true that the sparrows have recently decreased in cities. According to Spanish scientists, the cause of poor air AA is the so -called oxidative stress. That is why most urban sparrows are smaller and weaker than those who stayed in the countryside…
Friends and enemies
The domestic sparrow still evokes contradictory emotions in people. While many take his loss as a loss and want to bring a “traditional bird” again to urban parks, so that it does not completely die away, there are many who do not want his company twice. The reason is sparrow vandalism in city and village gardens. “The domestic sparrow (Passer domestice) and the sparrow (Passer Montanus) have the habit of binding buds in fruit trees, especially pear, apricots, gooseberries or currant.
Sparrow
To drive the sparrow from the garden is not just that. The bird really does not like to change the address and when he likes it somewhere, he likes to build his nests in the same place. Most often it is on the facades of houses, ledges of roofs, at window sills or terraces. The sparrow is protected by law, so its killing is strictly forbidden. Likewise, it is inadmissible to destroy or pull its nests at the time of nesting (from April to August). Your only hope is therefore only ecological intimiders that birds from trees, shrubs and vegetable beds. And which are they?
Reflection: Shiny objects
Traditionally, glossy objects are used to scare birds that shift in the sun. If you want, you can hang the garland from old CDs on fruit trees. You will still use hanging mirrors, aluminum foil remnants or pieces of old T -shirt with sequins.
Hungry plastic
A plastic bag or bag also occupies a lot on the sparrow. This object is inflated, rustling and threatening. Sparrows then tend to be afraid of plastic and change the route. Take advantage of this and hang up these “plastic scarecrows” wherever the sparrow squadron occurs.
