Abstract
- The article offers information on the Eurasian Tree Sparrow. As stated, the birds were imported in 1870 in North America by a bird dealer from Germany.

It states that however the sparrows have not spread much in the past 140 years due to the competition with the bigger, bolder House Sparrows.
