In general, the female sparrows are dull brown, or dust-colored, while the males are flamboyantly plumaged. It will be a while before u can actually see the adult plumage.

Lastly, sparrows cannot be domesticated .... they don't take to humans the way parrots, dogs or cats do. If at all u plan to keep it, u'll have to keep it under confinement. So, my friend, have a heart .... as soon as it fledges ( starts flying), set it free ..... that will give it the maximum happiness, and u, fulfilment.

feel the bone structure between the bird's legs. Female

birds have a discernable opening between its legs, big

enough for the eggs to pass thru, on a sparrow, it won't be

as large as a cockatiel's (which is about 1/2' oval)

Male birds have a narrower opening.How do you determine the sex of a baby sparrow?With birds the male is usually more colorful..

its almost impossible to tell just by looking,

male and female birds have pretty much the same

anatomy whewreby you can not tell the sexes by looking unless the sexes are

dimorphic (males look different than the females). They join their cloaca and

sperm is pressed into the female.
