House sparrows are social birds and often live in large flocks. In winter, these groups gather in roosting sites containing hundreds of birds. You will often see multiple sparrows compared to just one. They often move from place to place in search of an ideal and proper place to nest and raise their young.

Males are highly territorial and often fight for access to food sources or nesting sites. House sparrows are essential pollinators and seed dispersed, helping maintain healthy ecosystems. They can be a nuisance in agricultural areas, where they may consume large amounts of grain and damage crops.
