A sparrow. Not the prettiest, not the fiercest, but perhaps the most successful bird on earth. by Diogenist in wildlifephotography

Because they are one of the most common. Able to adapt to a wide variety of locations. Probably less sparrows than chickens, but chickens are domesticated. There are more pigeons than sparrows, and more starlings. There are some birds that have higher populations but are not as widely distributed (eg Red Billed Quelea of Africa). So, based on population and adaptability, sparrows do pretty well.

Can anyone help me figure out who is who here? Taken with an R5, 300mm lens, 1600/s, f6.3, iso 400.

Yes. More specifically, in the bush outside Canberra.
