House sparrow (Passer domesticus)

The house sparrow is an introduced species in Australia. Interestingly, I've learned that these birds are less common in Sydney than they used to be, decades ago. Anyway, here is a nice picture of a male sparrow. There were a few others nearby (male, female and juvenile).
