Hey yall, I would like some help with my article, maybe some cleaning up, adding on, and better/more images.

I categorized it for you @FutureHerpetologist - and overall, I think it’s off to a really great start!

@HelperOnWikihow Thanks! I totally forgot to catagorize it.:slight_smile:

No problem:slight_smile:

I thought your article was spot on - I promoted it after a few edits. Nice work! I’ll keep my eye out for some images like you requested:slight_smile:

Yeah, I changed it. As Helpie said, there isn’t much more to do with the article other than finding some good pictures.

I’m a bit of a twitcher - can anyone supply a link to an image of a colorful sparrow as mentioned in the intro of the article. I thought most sparrows were predominantly brown. The only colourful ones I could find were Sudan Golden Sparrow which most readers won’t attract to their garden…I’m also interested to know how rare sparrows are around the world. In the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Switerzland and Luxembourg they appeared to be pretty common to me. You could encounter sparrows, typically House Sparrows in most temperate locations, urban and country. In New Zealand sparrows are common too, so, I personally wouldn’t consider their appearance in my back yard or garden to add to the diversity…but maybe they are unusual visitors to backyards elsewhere in the world?

@HumanBeing Yes, I do realize that most sparrows are quite dull in color. I personally consider all sparrows colorful because of their patterns/markings. There are quite a few that one might call ‘colorful’ though. Here are the ones I found: White-Crowned Sparrow, White-Throated Sparrow, Eastern Towhee, Dark-Eyed Junco, Spotted Towhee, Black-Throated Sparrow, Lark Sparrow, and Fox Sparrow (My personal favorite, you can see a picture I took of one on my user page). Yes, I also took into consideration the commonness of these birds. The fact that they eat seeds and berries from natural plants and also love to clean up under a bird feeder makes them quite common to see. For the person that wants to see a sparrow up close, the wikihow I made tells them what kind of birdfeeder and birdbath to buy for sparrows. About diversity, I personally think the sounds that sparrows make is quite special and unique. And added to that is the color of the sparrows listed above. I personally haven’t seen sparrows in my yard for a while now. I should get that checked out…
