Abstract
It has been said that one man's trash is
another's treasure. This old adage certainly
rings true when it comes to one's
preference for birds. For example, few
birds suffer as much abuse both physical
and verbal as the lowly English sparrow
(Passer domesticus). Avid bird watchers
call them trash birds and resent their
very presence at feeders. Personally, I
find them interesting, attractive and
loaded with personality.
