They live in colonies and nest in holes or crevices in buildings, among Ivy or other bushes, and in nestboxes; they use a variety of materials to make their nests.

House sparrows are residents in the UK, but may disperse from their breeding grounds to feed on nearby farmland and grassland in winter.
