Sparrows usually live in open areas, they always look for a place close to their food source, which is a place where there are many grass plants and seed plants such as rice fields or grasslands, Sparrows usually make nests to shelter from the heat and when it rains, they make a nest in a tree at a height of more than 4 meters, The trees that are usually chosen as a place to make a nest are areca palm, coconut or lush guava trees, and avoid the sun's heat.
Sparrows nests are usually made from dry grass, palm fibers, bamboo roots, rice leaves and coconut fiber, Sparrows nests are round shaped like a ball with holes in one part that serves as a place to enter and exit the mother sparrows, After the nest has been made the sparrows will begin to lay eggs, usually the number of eggs that they hatch is around 4-8 eggs, and when the third egg is released the mother will begin to incubate, and the parent will incubate, and during the incubation process, the male and female birds will both incubate alternately, but in general females will incubate more often because of the maternal nature of the bird.
