I’ve had several for pets. They make nice pets, but they can be utterly vicious toward other house sparrows.
House sparrows? My niece has raised one since it was maybe a couple days old and fell out of it's nest on her back porch early this past summer. I'm surprised that she was able to feed it at such a young age and raise it to now......
While she's home, it has the run of the house but she has to be careful since she has a couple of dogs.
She said she hasn't released it into the wild because it has a deformed foot.
She named her Grace, after her grandmother.
