Sparrows of Malaysia

Passer is a genus of sparrows, also known as the true sparrows. The genus includes the house sparrow and the Eurasian tree sparrow, two of the most common birds in the world. They are small birds with thick bills for eating seeds, and are mostly coloured grey or brown. Native to the Old World, some species have been introduced throughout the world.

 Most of its members are found naturally in open habitats in the warmer climates of Africa and southern Eurasia.  Several species have adapted to human habitation, and this has enabled the house sparrow in particular, in close association with humans.
