Chipping Sparrow

The Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina) is a species in the genus Spizella. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Distributed across Norway and United States.

One of the most brilliantly colored birds in the Americas, scarlet macaws display vivid red, yellow, and blue plumage with wingspans reaching 1 meter. Found in humid lowland forests from Mexico to Bolivia, they are highly intelligent, long-lived — up to 75 years — and form lifelong pair bonds. They travel long distances to clay licks where they consume mineral-rich soil to detoxify seeds. Listed as Least Concern but locally threatened by habitat loss and the pet trade.
