ow, wall, roof or even the ground. So the sparrow became a faithful companion of humanity. Yes, the city is noisy and dirty. There are no greenery and water meadows, which many birds need. But there are almost no predators here, and there is plenty of food and shelter! Secondly, collective intelligence. If each individual bird is a detail, then a flock is a well-oiled mechanism of hundreds of individuals. As soon as one gives the alarm, everyone takes to the wing. As soon as one finds a crumb of bread, a flock immediately flocks together. The team of sparrows works so clearly and harmoniously that computer scientists and mathematicians became interested in its principles. Based on the mass intelligence of tiny birds, algorithms for optimizing actions in applications are being developed. Thirdly - the mind. We are used to extolling the intelligence of corvids and parrots, but if you take a closer look at ordinary sparrows, they will amaze you no less with their ingenuity. This is exactly what journalist Bob Brockie from New Zealand did. He noticed sparrows stealing sugar packets. The bird independently guessed that the small bags were not just garbage, but food. Bob invited readers to send interesting observations of sparrows by email. And a year later he published a note about the genius of these birds. For example, sparrows can open automatic glass doors in supermarkets. The sensor will not work if a tiny bird approaches the door. To get into the building, you had to wait for a person to leave or enter. But resourceful birds figured out how to outwit the shaitan machine. For the sensor to notice them, they fly close to it. If it doesn’t work, they fiddle with it. This is how sparrows get into shopping centers, stores and other premises whenever they want! Another trick that sparrows have learned is interacting with machines. The birds realized that the cars on the way were hitting a swarm of insects. Moreover, they learned to distinguish which cars were local and which came from far away. The sparrows have a special interest in the latter: there are much more insects on the highway than in the city. Sparrows have learned to collect insects even from passing vehicles! How? It's simple. Waiting for the right traffic light signal. When the red light is on, the birds fly up to the radiator and peck everything out of the heat. When the green light turns on, quickly gothey're fucking. Sparrows use their ingenuity not only in searching for food, but also in arranging a nest. They became one of the first birds in whose nests scientists discovered cigarette gobies. Why do birds litter their own apartment? Paradoxically - for cleanliness! Smoke and resins are ideal insecticides. This is how sparrows get rid of lice-eating parasites that bother both chicks and adults. By the way, about family. Here is the fourth reason for the world dominance of sparrows. These birds are monogamous. The female and male experience all the hardships and difficult
