Looks like Passer domesticus, House or English sparrow.

We've raised lots of them - it's one of the few 'wild' birds that you can legally take and rear as pets in the US, because they're considered invasive foreign species.

They are only supposed to live about 2 years in the 'wild', but we had one we hand-reared that lived almost 10 (my husband carried that bird around for many weeks, feeding it every hour. I remember Baby singing along with Perry Como when the Christmas Special was on TV.)

They are fun and interesting birds; but they can be vicious to each other - they'll do bird-murder to get another nesting pair out of a favored nesting space.

We have them nesting every year up inside the light fixture of our apartment balcony. They seem especially active in their comings-and-goings, this year.

Well they’re cuties for sure......and I enjoy their singing.

You certainly are bird people! Wow ten years is sure a long time. Sounds like a happy bird in your care.
