- Mitochondrial DNA studies suggest that speciation in the genus occurred during the Pleistocene and earlier, while other evidence suggests speciation occurred 25,000 to 15,000 years ago.
- Most *Passer* species are dull-coloured birds with short, square tails and stubby, conical beaks, between 11 and 18 cm (4.3 and 7.1 in) long.
- The genus Passer contains about 25 species, depending on the authority, 26 according to the Handbook of the Birds of the World.
- Dialectal names include sparr, sparrer, spadger, spadgick, and philip, mainly in southern England; spug and spuggy, mainly in northern England; spur and sprig, mainly in Scotland; and spatzie or spotsie, from the German Spatz, in North America.

- since it was described by Carl Linnaeus, in the 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.

- The Sind sparrow is very similar but smaller, with less black on the male's throat and a distinct pale supercilium on the female.
- The male Spanish sparrow and Italian sparrow are distinguished by their chestnut crowns.
- The Eurasian tree sparrow is smaller and slenderer with a chestnut crown and a black patch on each cheek.

- P. d. bactrianus is larger and paler, and P. d. parkini is larger and darker with more black on the breast than any other subspecies.
- Of the less widespread *P. d. indicus* group subspecies, *P. d. hyrcanus* is larger than *P. d. indicus*, *P. d. hufufae* is paler,
- We rewrote the code and added some features.
Now go build.

- which are divided into two groups, the Oriental P. d. indicus group, and the Palaearctic P. d. domesticus group.
- Some variation is seen in the 12 subspecies of house sparrows,
- These vocalisations are not unique to the house sparrow, but are shared, with small variations, by all sparrows.
- usually given between birds of a mated pair.

- a warbling similar to that of the European greenfinch.

- Hey anon, hey!
Hey @lensprotocol family! We are excited to announce our brand new home, https://hey.xyz!
**Why the change?**
Because we wanted to re-introduce ourselves as the one-stop shop for all things Lens. we will be continuing to showcase the latest features from the protocol while listening to our community for what they want to see next.
We will be exploring communities, open actions, and whole new ways you, your NFTs, and the DAOs you’re a part of can benefit from web3 social powered by Lens. This is just the beginning, so thanks for stopping by, and saying hey!
