So Sparrows can be found almost everywhere, Malaysia, Manila, Australia, UK, Europe, and US. They adapt well. Just like us I guess, we survive right from the coldest region to the burning hot desert. We human comes in different colour and size, but basically we are humans, men and women. The same with birds and sparrows specifically.<br /><br />Kakdah normally put leftover rice outside for the birds. It is alright on hot days. But it will get messy on rainy days.<br /><br />We dont provide a place for birds to drink .. not advisable here, for mosquito may breed....<br /><br />I can distinguish the lovely chirps of burung ciak as birds sing in chorus early in the morning. The sound is short chirpy sweet melody.<br /><br />Cheers...<br />~bangchikBangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-38014679563463734522010-03-01T18:36:17.378+08:002010-03-01T18:36:17.378+08:00I can add Australia to the list of places where th...I can add Australia to the list of places where this little bird can be found! <br />You need to go a bit further North from me into New South Wales to find the Tree Sparrow, but we have plenty of House Sparrows hopping about my area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-19057376737374971522010-03-01T14:43:23.130+08:002010-03-01T14:43:23.130+08:00They look very similar to our sparrows here.

My Malaysian friend visited lastlast week and said it is hotter now in KL than here. I said maybe because you are nearer the equator by some degrees. By the way, it always show in my reader that you already posted the bulging radish with red root, however when i open it, it is always not shown.
