I should have mentioned that as well.
Since most people have plenty of sparrows in and around their yards, the sparrows our primary source of insect feeders.
Most birds feed insects to their young, mainly because of the amount of readily available protein that they provide a growing chick.
Once the bird has left the nest, they will seek out a more varied diet.
