Fringilligae, having conical bills, and feeding chiefly on seeds. Many

house sparrow, of Europe (Passer domesticus) is noted for its
familiarity, its voracity, its attachment to its young, and its
fecundity. See House sparrow, under House.

the true sparrows in form or habits, as the European hedge sparrow. See
