Real-world profile
Beyond the blocks,
what bird is this?
The sparrow here is based on the Eurasian tree sparrow, common in East Asia. It is small, mostly brown and white, with conspicuous black cheek spots and a chestnut crown.
Tree sparrows are well adapted to living near people. They often nest in tree cavities, eaves and gaps in buildings, hop along the ground and forage in flocks.
