Description
*HOUSE SPARROW Passer domesticus
Range Biak, Yapen (KDB & JD).
Status Resident, introduced. First recorded 3 January 1994, one male and two females at Biak airport, carrying food to a nest under the eaves of a warehouse (Holmes 1997). Intriguingly, this species is not well known in Indonesia (Coates & Bishop 1997, Eaton et al. 2021) although recently recorded at Sorong (Beehler & Pratt 2016) and a number of locations in Papua New Guinea, the nearest to Biak being Tabubil (Beehler & Pratt 2016).
