A friend wants to know if a sparrow will tear up their own or another sparrow nest with babies in it and if so why? They saw this happen over the weekend and was wondering. Thanks

For as small as they are, sparrows are some fierce, fearless birds

Probably. Competition is a bitch. And are we sure they IDed both sets of birds correctly?

They are thugs
