Conservation

How am I conserving the House Sparrow?

Project nestbox

One of the key reasons House Sparrows are declining is due to a lack of nesting spaces.

But, through a combination of selling some old belongings, some prolific skip-diving and the generosity of some of you, I've been able to make my own nestboxes, and now have several installed on everywhere from schools to golf courses.

Feel free to have a look at one recently installed at Grange Primary School: Grange Infant school (savethehousesparrow.com)

Invertebrates

Invertebrates are declining 8x faster than mammals, birds and reptiles, having knock on effects on all the fauna relying on them, including House Sparrows.
